Hawaii Plantation Village

The Hawaii Plantation Village displays original structures and replica homes of the multiethnic groups who arrived in Hawaii between the late 1800s and the 1940s to work as plantation laborers. Furnished homes and other community structures display and interpret the history of Hawaii's rich, multi-ethnic heritage. Asian art and architecture, along with unique antiques and relics, are among the main highlights of the village.

The Friends of Waipahu Cultural Garden Park manage and operate this outdoor historical museum, located at Waipahu Cultural Garden Park. The museum sits on a 50-acre site just below the old Oahu Sugar Mill, offering visitors a glimpse into Hawaii’s plantation-era past. Visit and experience the warm and welcoming atmosphere that defined island life in the early 1900s. Guided tours begin at the top of each hour from Monday through Saturday, starting at 10:00 a.m., with the last tour at 2:00 p.m.

While exploring the area, consider adding nearby attractions such as Pearl Harbor or the Diamond Head Crater to your itinerary. For an authentic cultural experience, you can end the day at an evening Aloha Kai Luau at Sea Life Park or enjoy a relaxing Oahu dinner cruise along the coast.
