Parc historique de la Canne à Sucre

The historic sugar cane park in Port-au-Prince is a museum documenting Haiti's history of sugar production. Inside you find old machinery, historical objects, and photographs showing how people worked in this field across generations.

The estate began as a sugar plantation during colonial times under different owners. After Haiti's independence, the site's purpose shifted and eventually it became a place to remember this history.

The place reflects the connection between agriculture and society that shaped Haiti over time. Visitors see how sugar production influenced daily life and social structures across different periods.

The park has an indoor area with exhibition rooms and an outdoor area with old work sites to explore. Wear comfortable shoes since you will walk between both areas and the paths can be uneven.

The park preserves old production equipment showing how sugar was made through manual labor and simple machines. These tools are rare examples of methods you rarely see today.
