Drax Hall Plantation
Hall, St. George, was originally owned by Colonel James Drax. It was
constructed with the help of his brother William. Colonel James Drax
may have been the first to cultivate sugar cane, the first to introduce
the windmill to crush the canes and to own the largest and oldest
plantation on the island.
Colonel James Drax arrived in
Barbados sometime in the 1620s from London, England, where he was
determined to make his fortune and he did!
Drax Hall is still owned by the Drax family and is a working plantation today.
You can visit Drax Hall, only during the Open House Program organized by the Barbados National Trust, 436-9033..
