Hawaiis Plantation Village showcases the life and heritage of many Chinese, Portuguese, Japanese, Puerto Rican, Filipino, Okinawan and Koreans living in Hawaii today. The immigration of these different ethnic groups was the genesis of Hawaiis multi-ethnic population. If you have not had a chance to read the earlier entries, here is Part 1 and Part 2.
The Village showcases a collection of buildings that immigrant workers would have used. Each house represents a different ethnic group and the houses are arranged by periods early, mid and modern, roughly assigned to the ethnic group in order of their arrival in Hawaii.
As a docent (see photo) takes you through the Village, youll learn of the customs, plants and traditions that each group brought with them. You will see how each immigrant group lived, struggled and sacrificed. Youll also learn the unique lifestyle differences between each culture and youll see how they adapted and shared with each other.
An extensive library of historical photographs on plantation history from 1830s to 1950s, documentary materials and artifacts are also available on site at the Okada Education Center.
The quaint gift shop offers homemade handicrafts, local cookbooks, ethnic music and more.
Hawaiis Plantation Villages volunteer docents lead tours at the start of each hour, Monday through Saturday at 10:00 am. The last guided tour is at 2:00 pm. The important to budget travel is to approach onward. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the actuality of cost and budgeting is often in the back of our minds. Considering and consuming our travel budget properly is a consideration for most families. Reducing consuming and expenses, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured achievements and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding economizing money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal funds is extremely tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel expenses!. General operating hours of the Museum are Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. Saturday hours are from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm.

Throughout the year, HPV puts on Relive the Plantation Days events which highlight the culture of one or more of the plantation heritage groups. Those days are gone but HPVs mission is to ensure that the lifestyles, struggles, sacrifices, innovations and contributions of Hawaiis sugar plantation forbearers are preserved, known and acknowledged and visible as the cornerstone of Hawaiis contemporary multiethnic society. Here are a few images from their February event which celebrated the new year traditions of the Japanese (mochi-pounding) and Chinese (lion dance) groups.
Hawaiis Plantation Village opened in 1992 and is a non-profit educational organization.
