As you drive into town, remnants of the Old Koloa Mill, built in 1841, can be seen at the corner of Koloa Road. Also look for the touching bronze sculpture hidden inside two curved walls called the Sugar Monument. Step inside the memorial and you will witness the weathered faces of Hawaii's many plantation workers during the sugar era. |

Over the years, workers were brought to Koloa from many parts of the world including Portugal, China, Japan, Germany and the Philippines to work the fields. These immigrants lived difficult and honest lives as contract laborers in Hawaii. The Koloa History Center in the heart of town tells the touching tales of those times. |
