Hacienda Buena Vista

Historic · since 1833 · Carretera 123, Barrio Corral Viejo, Ponce

Don Salvador de Vives started this farm north of Ponce in 1833, and his grandson added coffee growing and processing during the coffee boom of the 1880s and 1890s. The Puerto Rico Conservation Trust restored it and opened it as a museum in 1986; the original machinery, including a rare hydraulic turbine, runs again.
