About the ruins

This is the site of the rum and sugar processing facility built out of coquina in 1825 by the owner, Thomas H. Dummitt. Coquina is a native limestone rock formed from broken shells and was a typical building material from industrial buildings and forts of the time. Dummitt also installed one of the first steam powered cane crushing mills in Florida and in the United States. During the Second Seminole War, the plantation and mill were burned and destroyed alike other plantations and sugar mill ruins such as the Bulow Plantation which is only 9 miles down the road or the Dunlawton Sugar Mill Ruins in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.

Nowadays, there is not much left of the sugar and rum processing mill, visitors are able to see the ruins from behind a chain link fence. The remains include a few walls, two chimneys, a small well and that is about all. Visitors can enjoy the scenery while sitting at the wooden picnic table that was at the rear of the property and there is also a convenient trash can next to the parking lot.
