Description:

Sugarcane has been a vital part of Hawaii's agricultural history, with its fertile soil and temperate climate making it an ideal location for cultivation. The Old Sugar Mill of Kōloa, founded in 1835 on Kauai by Ladd & Company, marked the beginning of Hawaii's successful sugarcane plantation industry. Designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1962, the mill now welcomes visitors who can explore its remains and a sculpture honoring those who worked in the sugar industry. The annual Kōloa Plantation Days Celebration pays homage to the diverse ethnic groups and Native Hawaiian population that contributed to the plantation's legacy. Located in Kōloa, the mill is part of a larger cultural and historical tour of the area, showcasing Hawaii's rich heritage in sugarcane cultivation.
