About New Smyrna Sugar Mill Ruins

This 17-acre Volusia County historic park preserves the remains of a sugar factory built of coquina stone in the early 1800s. The mill was part of the Cruger-dePeyster Plantation, and its ruins were raided during a conflict between the Seminole people and the United States. The site is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, and it sits about a mile west of the Intracoastal Waterway.
