The Three Chimneys Historical Site

The Three Chimneys, originally known as the Swamp Settlement, is a historical site located in Ormond Beach, Florida. Established in 1768, it was the first successful and oldest British sugar plantation in North America, covering 300 acres and featuring a long brick structure with four separate furnaces feeding two chimneys. The ruins were restored in 2007, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich history of this British period sugar plantation.

Owned by Richard Oswald, a wealthy Scottish merchant, The Three Chimneys played a significant role in the Revolutionary War as Oswald went on to serve as the British representative for the Treaty of Paris in 1783. Today, this site stands as a testament to the plantation's historical importance and offers visitors the opportunity to learn about its role in shaping the United States of America.
