Trip to the Sugar Museum
Puunene, Maui
February 10, 2023
Today was our day to visit the Sugar Museum. So off we go and here we are:
Lots of old photos of work on the efforts to get water from the wet areas of the island to the cane fields:
Placard from the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company:
A picture of the old mill. If I have my dates correct operations, this, the last operating mill on the island, stopped work in 2016. The old cane fields are now given over to diversified farming:
A model of the mill:
Not a pizza oven. I am sorry to say I did not read the placard nor did I take this picture. This must be a part of very early efforts to get the sugar from the cane:
The plaque says it all:
The first workers brought to the island were from Japan. This was created by them:
The back of a tractor. Your view if you are a load of cane being hauled from the field to the mill:
