Dedication: Charley Sidney Steen, Sr. and Elizabeth Bernard Steen founded the C. S. Steen Syrup Mill in 1910 with the purchase of a small mill from a local hardware store. In desperation that year, the Steens tried to save what they could of their sugar cane crop which stood frozen in the fields hit by an early freeze. Their example of ingenuity, perseverence and hard work lives on today in the lives of the present family and friends at the mill. Today, we present the history of the C. S. Steen Syrup Mill combining the wisdom of earlier eras and incorporating advanced technologies of today. Bringing the old to the new, their descendants dedicate this respectfully.
