Just 10 minutes from Maui's main airport in Kahului is a wonderful, quaint museum called the Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum (871-8058). This is a marvelous stop on your vacation where you'll discover information and exhibits about how this all important crop was cultivated, from the purchasing of lands, to the building of irrigation systems and the influx of people from other nations to grow and harvest the sugar. For example, did you know that sugar was Hawaii's predominant industry for about a century? Or that sugar is one of the primary reasons why Hawaii has such a diverse multi-ethnic population? It's true. On your flight you may have been lucky enough to look out the window and see the fields of green. That's what sugar looks like before it becomes those sweet white crystals. The 45-minute tour at the Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum will show you how sugar is made, the work that goes into bringing it to you, and you'll get to sample the sugar that's made right across the street from the museum at the sugar mill. You'll also get to see equipment used by sugar plantations and plantation workers, such as a Cleveland Trench Digger, an outdoor Portuguese oven built in the 1920s, a "bull gear" approximately 11' in diameter, a cane hauler, vintage Caterpillar tractors, and a cane grab large enough for a child to walk under without stooping. Dedicated to preserving and presenting the history and heritage of sugar, be sure to visit the Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum.
