Pioneer Mill Smokestack — Attraction in Maui

If you never saw the original Pioneer Mill, you really missed seeing something wonderful from Maui's past. The gargantuan steel structure and smoky/sweet smell greeted you as you drove up Lahainaluna Road which was covered in dust, caked-on red dirt, and cane stalk remnants. The mill stood on both sides of the road with a bridge-like connector in the middle.

Come present day, the only surviving artifact is a majestic 225 foot high smokestack that has been beautifully restored into a free visitable monument, complete with restored locomotives (prior to the 2023 fire).

Starting back in 2009, they held an event known as the Lahaina Plantation Days that showcased plantation history, exhibits, arts, crafts, entertainment, and food booths, which benefitted the Lahaina Restoration Foundation. Sadly the event's finale...

Pioneer Mill has been dismantled and only tall stack is left. Maui Coffee Growers Company Store now located on part of the land and the store ONLY sells 100 per cent Maui coffee. Coffee available @ store is picked, roasted, ground, packed on Maui. Various coffeec varieties are growen on the estate and tasting of all varieties available for free every day but Sunday. Home made pastries also available: don't count the delicious calories. Say hello to Jeff and Diane and tell them Milan...

If you enjoy knowing what was or just history in general this and many other places on Maui are good destinations to see during your trip. Also for those of you that are new to boating this is one of the few structures that stand as high as it does and because of that fact it makes it a great navigational point. Please have fun and take home some of the best memories of your life while you're here on Maui Island,.. also please do your best to respect...
