This museum is a permanent record of how sugar was produced
in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The museum now
stands a tribute to Sir Frank Hutson, who with assistance
from the Barbados National Trust, collected the items in the
museum.
The history of sugar cultivation and production
is displayed in this attractive museum which is located in
the yard of the Portvale Sugar Factory, just off Highway 2A.
The museum is open throughout the year but if you visit during
the reaping season (February to May), you can compare the
machinery of previous times with the modern machinery of the
Portvale factory.
The Sugar Museum is a Barbados National Trust property:
