Follow the Leader to the Plantation

With Ms. Fahie and Mr. Goldstein leading us on a journey to all the sugar cane plantations that were there. Our first discovery today was at the Cane Garden Plantation where Hovensa storage plant was clear at sight. There was maybe about 14 village houses that was used for the enslaved,  1 overseer house, 1 windmill, 1  hospital, and 1 ruin that looked like a animal powered mill. An overseer is like a guard or a soldier who's job is to watch over the enslaved or anyone working for the slave master. It was exciting to see some of the stuff still remain there.
