Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum

This former sugar-mill superintendent's home has been converted into a museum that tells the story of sugar in Hawaii. Exhibits explain how sugar is grown, harvested, and milled. An eye-opening display shows how Samuel Alexander and Henry Baldwin managed to acquire huge chunks of land from the Kingdom of Hawaii and how they ruthlessly fought to gain access to water on the other side of the island, making sugarcane an economically viable crop. Allow about a half hour to enjoy the museum.

Open: Daily 9:30am-4:30pm.Admission $5 adults, $2 children 6-17, free for children 5 and under.
