A two-story mansion and a chapel remain standing on the sugar mill grounds. The site is being considered to be put on the World Heritage list of sites who have "outstanding universal value" to the world.

Famous quotes containing the words sugar mill, sugar and/or mill:

    They give us a pair of cloth shorts twice a year for all our clothing. When we work in the sugar mills and catch our finger in the millstone, they cut off our hand; when we try to run away, they cut off our leg: both things have happened to me. It is at this price that you eat sugar in Europe.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    You have witchcraft in your lips, Kate. There is more
    eloquence in a sugar touch of them than in the tongues of
    the French council.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Ask yourself whether you are happy, and you cease to be so.
    —John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
