Betty's Hope dates to 1651 and is one of the earliest sugar plantations on the island. The site is now a national heritage landmark and many aspects of it have been restored, such as the sugar mill towers and sails. Archaeologists from all over come to the site to help conduct research on the estate. The history of the Betty’s Hope plantation began as an industrial and agricultural enterprise, which visitors can learn about in the site’s interpretation center. The plantation played an important role in Antigua and Barbuda’s history, influencing the lives of many of its inhabitants over the years. A trip to the plantation invites visitors to go back in time and see how the land and people have evolved over the years.
