Betty’s hope was a sugar plantation, it was established in 1650 and flourished. An historic trip worth doing, in fairness any trip that gets you across the Island is worth doing. Antigua has a lot to offer. Enjoy!

The unfortunate thing was we trusted "Michael", of "Local Tours by Michael", to take us all around the island and show us the "real" Antigua. The guy was a hack, con. When we got to this site he made it clear we were to ask...More
This historical site showed how sugar was once processed. Worth a quick stop to see. However didn't see the info center as I was more interested in the mill. People I traveled there say that an fee was required in the building
