Yulee Sugar Mills
October 10, 2008
I visited the ruins of a sugar mill that ran for 13 years during the time of the Cival War. Not far from Homosassa State Park, it’s worth the extra few minutes drive to see how sugar used to be made. Sugar cane would be rolled through big rollers. The juice that came out was collected and heated and then put through a refining process. After that they would put the liquid into barrells. When it dried, sugar crytals remained.
It makes me want to see how they process sugar now. The only idea I have is from the attack of the giant ants movie, which was filmed at my local state park and beach. If you like B movies, it’s worth a laugh.
