Hacienda Buena Vista
Hacienda Buena Vista, also known as Hacienda Vives (or Buena Vista Plantation in English), is a coffee plantation and estate in Ponce, Puerto Rico, established in the 19th century. The plantation was started by Don Salvador de Vives in 1833. It is now owned by the Puerto Rico Conservation Trust (Fideicomiso de Conservación), who operates it as a museum. It is located on of fertile land that includes a humid subtropical forest some north of Ponce on Route PR-123,〔(Periodico Perla del Sur. ''Gente'' (People) section. Story 3. September 2, 2009. )〕 in Corral Viejo, a sub-barrio of Barrio Magueyes.〔(Periodico La Perla. ''Gente'' (People) section. Story 3. September 2, 2009. )〕 The plantation house was built in the Spanish Colonial style, with the surrounding buildings being builtin the local ''Criollo'' style.〔 It receives some 40,000 visitors every year.〔(''Con taller de catación: Salda prolífico año Hacienda Buena Vista.'' By Gary Gutiérrez. Periodico La Perla del Sur. Ponce, Puerto Rico. Week of November 3–10, 2010. )〕 It covers an area of 482 ''cuerdas'' (approx. 468 acres).〔
==Significance==
The Hacienda is significant for various reasons. First, it contains the only remaining example of the Barker hydraulic turbine, which was the first reaction type turbine ever made.〔(''Barker Turbine/Hacienda Buena Vista (1853).'' American Society of Mechanical Engineers. )〕 It was nominated as a Mechanical Engineering landmark by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in July 1994.〔R. Sackett, p. 16.〕〔(''Barker Turbine/Hacienda Buena Vista (1853) Nomination.'' American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Nomination Number 177. )〕
The second reason Hacienda Buena Vista is significant is that it offers one of the best remaining examples of a Puerto Rican coffee plantation. This is important because in the latter part of the nineteenth century the coffee produced in Puerto Rico and exported to Europe and the United States was considered among the finest in the world. It is said to have even been the favorite at the Vatican at the time.〔(Welcome to the World of Cafe Rico. Company History: Vatican Coffee )〕 Hacienda Buena Vista is also significant because it shows the evolution of the coffee industry in the region. Various periods can be appreciated. These range from the cultivation of produce such as plantains (1833–1845); to the production of flour (from rice and corn) (1847–1872). These products were staples for the subsistence of the local population.〔
