The Sugar Museum – Lydia’s Report
First, we went into the old boiling house where there was an exhibition of machinery, tools and photographs. I really enjoyed looking at the photographs that showed the factory workers from long ago. Then we learned about the history of sugar in Barbados. Sugar used to be produced in windmills. Their sails were powered by the wind. The sails drove machines which squeezed juice from the sugar cane. At one time, there were over 500 windmills in Barbados.
