Yulee Sugar Mill - Brooksville, Fl

 

The day that Duane and I ventured out to the Chinsegut Preserve and Homosassa Springs we took a little detour to check out the Yulee Sugar Mill.  Where once an impressive sugar plantations stood today is just a few ruins, however the knowledge of the past is still present. If you are ever in this area of town this makes a nice stop off to walk around and check out.

Chinsegut Hill Manor House and Conservation Center - Brooksville, FL

 

On our way to check out the Yulee Sugar Mill and Homosassa Springs state park we stopped off and looked at something that has been around the Brooksville area for many years, however most people do not know it even it exists.  Currently you can take a picnic up to the area and have a nice lunch and look around but there is not much to really do here.  However down the street there is the Chinsegut conservation center that is open on Friday and Saturdays.
