Who We Are
The Sugar Museum is a major source for information and education about Maui's sugar history and plantation heritage. We keep Maui's sugar history alive! As a tribute to early sugar pioneers Samuel T. Alexander and Henry P. Baldwin, the museum reflects the people, ethnic fabric, and cultural activities of the sugar plantation era on Maui. Our Education Program, created in 1990, provides learning opportunities to students from Maui and abroad.
As an independent 501c3 non-profit organization, The Sugar Museum depends on a talented and versatile team of volunteers to make the museum all it can be. You will be part of something special when you spend some time with us!
What We Do
The Sugar Museum is a major source for information and education about Maui's sugar history and plantation heritage. Our mission is to preserve and present the history and heritage of the sugar industry, and the multi-ethnic plantation life it engendered.
Open to the public since July 1987, the nonprofit museum is housed in a 1902 mill engineers' home. The archival collection is available to the public by appointment only. Outdoor exhibits include two steam engines that once powered enormous sugar mills, and vintage farming machinery. Indoor galleries and exhibits include photos, audio and video, and artifacts. Our gift shop is in the former kitchen of the house, and includes interesting features, such as cupboards, a pantry, and teak drainboards.
Our Education Program, created in 1990, teaches school children about plantation life and how sugar is made. To date we have served over 60,000 students.
