The Grove Farm Sugar Museum is a must-visit destination for those seeking to delve into the island’s history beyond its breathtaking landscapes. Before you set out on your adventure to Grove Farm Sugar Museum, we have some information that can help you plan your outing.

A Glimpse into the Sugar Plantation Era

The Grover Farm Sugar Museum stands as a living testament to Kauai’s rich history, specifically the era when sugar reigned supreme. For over 150 years, sugar cane was king of agriculture on Kauai.

The significance of sugar plantations in Kauai’s history cannot be overstated. These plantations played a pivotal role in shaping the island’s cultural and economic landscape. From Native Hawaiians to immigrants from around the world, a diverse group of people worked on sugar plantations. The trials and achievements of plantation workers laid the foundation for the Kauai we know today, rendering their stories integral to any exploration of the island.

Tours at Grove Farm Sugar Museum

Located in Lihue, Grove Farm was one of the first sugar plantations in all of Hawaii and offers a glimpse into the past. Through its meticulously preserved gardens, buildings, and artifacts, visitors are transported back in time to an era of transformation at Grove Farm. Tours are available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Led by knowledgeable guides, tours provide insights into the lives of those who worked tirelessly on the sugar plantations, shedding light on their struggles and contributions.

Tours at Waioli Mission House

Located in Hanalei, tours of the Waioli Mission House showcase the home of Abner and Lucy Wilcox, who began leasing Grove Farm in 1864 before buying the plantation. Tours of this historic home shed light on Abner and Lucy’s lives and their work as missionaries in Hawaii. Tours of the Waioli Mission House are available Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
