Two Leos TravelsThe New Smyrna Sugar Mill Ruins were one of our favorite unexpected finds in the area. Tucked beneath huge old trees, the crumbling coquina walls and remains of the 1830s sugar mill are incredibly atmospheric. It’s a small site and doesn’t take long to explore, but that’s part of its charm. Quiet, fascinating and a great glimpse into early Florida history. Definitely worth seeking out if you enjoy ruins and lesser-known historic places.

Tom BI really like this historic oddity. The history is explained and preserved well. The main entrance needs more conspicuous signage. The transition from the road to the lot needs grading but everything else is good. The garbage cans were full and litter has a potential to creep in.
