1780 Lower Estate Sugar Works Museum

There are no bells and whistles here, but if you're keen to take time and read about the area's history, this museum in an old sugar mill is a worthy stop. A group of friendly volunteers runs it. You'll learn how the McClevery slaves built the dwelling in 1780, and how molasses, sugar and rum were produced until the 1940s. Rooms hold a hodgepodge of exhibits on local shipwrecks, fauna and flora, and paintings by area artists.
