The Callawassie Sugar Works is a historically significant industrial site at 29 Sugar Mill Drive in Okatie, South Carolina, on Callawassie Island in Beaufort County. The site contains the tabby ruins of two structures (the sugar mill base or foundation, and the boiling house) and archeological evidence of a third structure (most likely the curing shed). The sugar works, constructed circa 1815–1818, was a complex for processing sugar cane into sugar.Brooker, Colin H. "Callawassie Island Sugar Works: A Tabby Building Complex."
