This well-kept riverside historical park is the preserved site of the Serpon Sugar Mill, which operated here from 1865 until 1910. There's a small interpretative center but the real attractions are the various pieces of machinery including a steam-powered engine and parts of the crusher and boiler scattered through the park and slowly becoming one with nature.
