  • Betty's Hope was a sugarcane plantation in Antigua. It was established in 1650, shortly after the island had become an English colony, and flourished as a successful agricultural industrial enterprise during the centuries of slavery. It was the first large-scale sugar plantation to operate in Antigua and belonged to the Codrington family from 1674 until 1944. Christopher Codrington, later Captain General of the Leeward Islands, acquired the property in 1674 and named it Betty's Hope, after his daughter. Betty's Hope is no longer operational as a plantation. However, the structures pictured here at the time of restoration works initiated by the Government of Antigua in 1990, under the OEC/ESDU Eco-Tourism Enhancement project, consisted of the twin windmills, the Cistern Complex in serviceable condition, the Great House (Buff or Estate House) in ruins, the Boiling House where sixteen copper hoppers were used to boil cane juice to produce crystalline sugar, and the Still House, a distillery used for manufacturing rum (also seen in ruins without a roof but with elegant arches). Since 1995, the buildings have been developed as an open-air museum with a visitor center and are managed by the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda. (en)
  • El Betty's Hope (literalmente "La esperanza de Betty") es un espacio que desde 1995, se ha desarrollado como un museo al aire libre con un centro de visitantes en la jurisdicción del Museo de Antigua y Barbuda.​​ Se trata de un lugar que fue una plantación de azúcar que proporcionó sustento a muchas generaciones de ciudadanos de la isla de Antigua desde el momento en que se estableció en 1650 durante el gobierno colonial británico. Floreció como una exitosa empresa agroindustrial, la primera gran plantación de azúcar en operar en Antigua, a partir de la propiedad de la familia Codrington en 1674, que duró hasta 1944. Sir Christopher Codrington Gobernador de las Islas de Sotavento en 1674 llamó a la finca como la esperanza de Betty, en honor de su hija.​ (es)
