Скачать или смотреть Exploring Florida’s Forgotten Sugar Empire | Disston Sugar Mill Ruins

📌 Description:

Hidden behind a quiet neighborhood in St. Cloud, Florida, stand the crumbling remains of the Disston Sugar Mill — all that’s left of a bold attempt to turn swampland into a sugar empire in the late 1800s.

In this video, we’ll uncover the fascinating story of Hamilton Disston, the Philadelphia industrialist who bought 4 million acres of Florida land and built this massive sugar operation. At its peak, the mill could process 200 tons of sugarcane a day and produced over 1 million pounds of sugar in a single year. But within just a few years, floods, crop diseases, and economic collapse turned this ambitious dream into ruins.

Join me as we explore the haunting remains of the mill, walk through the brick shells left behind, and fly over the site with drone footage to see how history and nature have intertwined over more than a century.
