New Smyrna Sugar Mill Ruins
Very pleasantly quiet park. The dirt road to get to it is very hard to see, as mentioned in a previous tip, but it's across the street from a split intersection where you can see it more clearly.

Pay close attention! The road to turn in is not very evident. No one was here so it was nice to get out and take pics without a bunch of people around.

An official 17 acre park features the photogenic ruins of what looks like an old church, but was in fact a sugar mill from the early 1800s. Its destruction during the Seminole Indian War put a stop to New Smyrna Beach's slave-operated molasses and sugar industries.
