Outdoor museum @ Sepron Sugar Mill

Hidden in the jungle one mile in on the access road to the village of Sittee River is an important landmark in Belize’s colonial history. It is the remnants of the steam powered Serpon Sugar Mill which was established in 1865, marked the start of Belize’s industrial era. The mill was bought by William Bowman and it, along with the Regalia, bought and owned by an American, fueled Belize’s economy for about thirty years.

There is a museum that will explain how the sugar cane was converted into sugar. While walking around the actual machinery, which is still out in the jungle partially overgrown by strangeler figs, you will get the feeling that you are visiting Narnia.
