The era has passed but history buffs know that sugar cane was king in Hawaii for over 100 years and Hawaiis Plantation Village (HPV) offers a snapshot of what life was like during this formative period..jpg)
Similar to visiting other museums, the best way to tour the village is to take a docent-led tour. There is no audio-tour option and this is actually good news because HPVs docents have personal experience with life on a sugar plantation and will offer insights and share real stories of what it was like to grow up on a plantation in Hawaii.
The tour starts with a walk through the quaint Goro Arakawa Exhibit Room where you will be introduced to plantation life, circa early 1900s. Youll see photographs of a contract, picture bride, family photos and ledger sheets. There are artifacts like a bull whip, bango tags, field workers clothing (see photo), cane press and more. The newly installed exhibit, The Portuguese in Hawaii is also on display featuring their history in Hawaii, music, clothing, achievements and more. The key to budget travel is to plan ahead. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the fact of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our minds. Arranging and consuming our travel budget correctly is a main concern for most families. Curbing expending and fees, while still experiencing your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured success and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking regarding saving money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal funds is highly 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 thinking about that while traveling, whether on a finances or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel bill!. Throughout the exhibit, you are shown the harsh realities faced by the immigrant workers.
Once exiting the museum, you walk through a time tunnel that transports you back in time. On the otherside of the tunnel is where the walking tour begins and you have a chance to explore the collection of 32 original and authentically replicated plantation structures such as workers homes of the various ethnic groups, community bath, Chinese cook house (on the State Register of historic buildings), barbershop, social hall, Inari Shrine (also on the State Register of historic buildings) plantation store and more. The buildings are furnished with over 3,000 personal artifacts. Nowhere else can you find so many cultural backgrounds blending and contributing to the integrated way of life we know today as Hawaii.
