Molokai Museum and Cultural Center DescriptionThe R.W. Meyer Sugar Mill was founded by Rudolph W. Meyer, a German professor, who came to Molokai in 1849. Here he married the high chieftess Kalama, and began to operate this small sugar plantation.
Now the site is on the National Register of Historic Places. The R.W. Meyer Sugar Mill is the last of its kind in Hawaii. It has a century-old steam engine, mule-driven cane crusher, copper clarifiers, and redwood evaporating pan (all in working order).
The mill houses a museum that traces the history of sugar growing on Molokai. It provide a glimpse into the lives of the plantation worker in the 19th Century. Besides, the museum features special events, such as wine tastings every 2 months, taro festivals, an annual music festival, and occasional classes in ukulele making and loom weaving.
