PU'UNENE
Kama'aina day Saturday at A&B's Sugar Museum

The Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum will celebrate Kama'aina Appreciation Day from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, with free admittance for Hawai'i residents.

New features include a recently restored 1920s-era Portuguese oven and vintage 1959 Northwest cable crane previously in the service of Pioneer Mill.

Located directly across from the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co. mill in Pu'unene, the Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum was established in 1980 as a memorial to early sugar pioneers Samuel T. Alexander and Henry Perrine Baldwin. The museum is a historical and cultural repository for artifacts, photos and documents that depict the history of sugar on Maui.

Hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. For more information, call 871-8058.
