Kualoa Sugar Mill

Kualoa served as one of the most sacred places in historical times and residing on this land is another relic of the past - the Kualoa Sugar Mill.

Built in 1863 by Charles Judd and Samuel Wilder, it was equipped with the latest milling technology from Scotland. According to Mike Woodfin, a couple of years after its opening, Samuel Wilder's nine year old son fell into a Vat of boiling syrup and survived only for a couple of days after until he finally died. Seven years later, due to lack of rain, the land was too arid for sugar cane and closed.
