Koloa Sugar Plantation

I just loved this old sugar plantation on the road out to Poip’u. I thought it had some great character. But then again, I tend to find a certain beauty in old buildings and run-down barns. They’ve always intrigued me so why should this old sugar plantation be any different. One afternoon, during a break in the rains, we pulled off the main road and drove up to the plantation gates so I could take a couple pictures. When I returned home I did a little research on the place. It was once home to the Koloa Sugar Company but is now abandoned. The mill was constructed in 1836 and remained operational until 1996.
Take Highway 530 (Kaloa Road) after Mile Marker #11. Near the town of Koloa, turn right on Weliweli Road which ends at the Koloa Sugar Mill.
