Morgan Lewis Windmill is a plantation-era sugar windmill built in 1727 and located in the Parish of St. Andrew on the east coast of Barbados. The mill ceased regular operation in 1947, later fell into disrepair, and was donated to the Barbados National Trust in 1962 by Egbert L. Bannister for preservation as a museum. It is frequently described in travel and heritage sources as one of the last intact or functional sugar windmills in the Caribbean and is depicted on Barbados' 25-cent coin, underscoring its cultural and historical significance. The site functions as a heritage attraction and museum; some sources note seasonal grinding demonstrations (reported as occurring between January and April on alternate Sundays in at least one listing), though scheduling may vary. The mill is commonly included on East Coast and heritage tour itineraries and is presented as an educational example of plantation-era sugar processing technology. Reported phenomena and supernatural claims are absent from the provided source set. None of the supplied tourism, numismatic, or encyclopedia references document hauntings, apparitions, or other paranormal activity associated with the Morgan Lewis Windmill. If local ghost stories or oral traditions exist, they are not present in the supplied materials and therefore are not recorded here.
