Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins Historic State Park
This site was once part of a thriving sugar plantation owned by David Levy Yulee. The most imposing feature of the plantation was the sugar mill, located near the Homosassa River. The mill operated for 13 years producing sugar, syrup and molasses which was used to make rum. The mill was abandoned during the Civil War and Yulee's plantation home, located down the river, was burned. The plantation and mill never recovered from the war.
