Organizers worked to raise awareness for Seabrook Village with Saturday’s Sugar Cane Festival, which featured cane grinding and extraction, free hayrides and tours of the historic community.As visitors arrived, they were ushered onto a hayride that provided a unique view of residential dwellings, a church, a school and acres of land. Afterward, guests could explore the buildings that contained preserved artifacts, many of which are over 100 years old. Near the homes, an outhouse, a working water well and wash bins for laundry still stand.“People need to know about their history of the community,” village manager Florence Tate-Roberts said.
