Kilohana Plantation

|
Kilohana plantation estate has been restored and turned into a restaurant, with a group of craft shops and art galleries. Of note are the gardens surrounding some of the rustic plantation worker houses. The main house dates from about 1935. Carriage rides are available around the grounds on Saturdays and Sundays.
The plantation's founder, Gaylord Park Wilcox, the nephew of Grove Farm's founder, promoted the house as a focal point of Kauai's society and culture. To this end he named the house "Kilohana", Hawaiian for "the best". Until 1970, the farm was under family ownership but was then closed and reopened for a short time as a school.
