Sugar Monument (Old Mill)

Hawaii’s sugar industry, once the largest element in the islands’ economy, started with the construction of the first mill in Koloa in 1835. This memorial marks the site. Little survives besides a foundation, an old stone chimney and a bronze sculpture depicting the ethnically diverse laborers of the plantation era.
