Kala'e - R.W. Meyer Sugar Mill Museum / Molokai Museum and Cultural Center

This protected mill stands in the center of Molokai at Kala'e.

Rudolf W. Meyer, previously a manager of the large Molokai Ranch, built a sugar refinery in 1878 and this has now been restored to its original form. It offers a good insight into the production of sugar, Hawaii's most important export. On view are the sugar cane presses, the copper vats, the vaporization pans and a steam machine, all of which are still in working condition.
