Long road to restore sugar\'s history

2013-09-19 08:22:49| Sugar Industry News

Almost four years ago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar launched the Sugar Heritage Village and Museum at Brechin Castle, Couva, to preserve the memory of the sugar industry that once sustained the national economy. The museum is supposed to record the historical and cultural legacy of the industry, which brought together many races, cultures and traditions for over 200 years. The Sugar Heritage Village will house artifacts from the industry, including rail engines, railway lines, animal driven carts, tractors, harvesters and other obsolete machinery. Although restoration on the site has already begun, chairman of the Heritage Village and Museum Steering Committee, Professor Brinsley Samaroo, said there was still a long way to go. At a recent meeting held with the Point Lisas Chamber of Commerce where the committee sought to gain the Chamber\'s support, multi-media presentations were shown of the sugar industry in its heyday and future plans for the projects that will make the area an historic and recreational site.
