A trip to Grove Farm provides a glimpse back into the sweet life of a sugar plantation owner in the 1860s. Owned by George Wilcox, the son of missionaries who became a wealthy sugar baron, the plantation was once spread over 80 acres. A tour of the property takes you step-by-step through the rise of the prominent Wilcox family, and offers you a detailed glimpse at the house just as it looked in its glory years in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Because the house has been preserved in such fine detail, you may not be able to tour it on wet or rainy days: wet clothing and muddy shoes might damage the fine interior.

Notes: To reach the farm, take Highway 50 east from Puhi toward Lihu'e. Turn right on Nawiliwili Road just past Mile Marker #1 before entering the town of Lihu'e. The Grove Farm Homestead Museum is about halfway down the road on the left.
