Ten minutes from the Kahului Airport is a place that will take you back a century to the days when sugar was king in the islands.<\/p>\n

Once the plantation manager’s home, the Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum<\/a> is located in Pu’unene.<\/p>\n

The museum gives its visitors an understanding of Maui’s geography and water system, and the people and events that helped to shape the island’s history. Here you can take a look at life within a sugar plantation village and how sugar cane is grown and processed in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

Photo murals and artifacts dating back to 1878 are on display, as well as authentic scale models of the factory’s machinery.<\/p>\n

Near the museum, the Pu’unene Sugar Mill’s smoke stacks tower over what remains of the village. The mill is owned by Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar, a division of Alexander & Baldwin.<\/p>\n

HC&S also owned the Pa’ia sugar mill, which closed in October 2000 after 120 years of operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
