Description

According to the Kingsland Convention and Visitors Bureau, the sugar mill “is the largest and best preserved of all tabby remains in the Southeast.”

History

Built in 1826, this innovative sugar factory had dimensions of 120' x 75' and consisted of three rooms: one for boiling, for grinding, and for curing sugar. John Houstoun McIntosh (1773-1836) constructed the mill on the site of his New Canaan Plantation, where he grew sugar cane. New Canaan was sold after McIntosh’s death, and the mill burned in the mid-1800s and was not rebuilt.
