A visit to the sugar museum, located in the former Patria o Muerte sugar mill, a few kilometres from the city of Morón, allows us to relive those years when the small sugar mill sweetened everything around it, laden with molasses with that penetrating smell that cheered the souls of the residents of the small town.

Thanks to a well-conceived conservation project, it is possible to enjoy the entire sugar agro-industrial process, with a thematic axis dedicated to the industry and a tour that includes the emergence, development and current stage of the cultivation of grass in the country.

The installation shows some elements such as a wooden trapiche, a rustic train for cooking guarapo and wooden constructions that resemble the barracón, illustrating the indelible mark of the sugar industry.

The exhibition areas contain texts with convincing explanations, there is also a ferry crane, carts, a truck with its rails for pulling the cane and images of the first model of a cutting machine that arrived in Cuba, among other significant elements.

There are also images alluding to the railway union leader Enrique Varona González, murdered in Morón during the dictatorship of the clawed ass Gerardo Machado.

The visit to the facility also includes a locomotive ride to the Rancho Palma tourist centre of the Palmares extra-hotel branch, a tour that allows visitors to interact with the countryside and observe the greenery of the different areas surrounded by sugar cane fields.

Without a doubt, the sugar museum offers a very accurate overview of the process of sugar cane cultivation, the cutting, transfer and manufacture of raw sugar. Traces that time will not be able to erase, because today they are heritage.
