Acquired in 1864 by George N. Wilcox, the son of missionary teachers, Grove Farm is a beautifully preserved one hundred acre homestead in the center of Lihu‘e, Kaua‘i, Hawaiian Islands, that includes the original plantation main house, owner’s cottage, guest cottage, old office, as well as other resident and plantation workers’ housing camps. The ongoing active household and farm with its animals, gardens, banana patches, and pastures, maintain the same cleaning and agricultural schedules and practices that were established in the 1870s. The museum includes a locomotive learning park and four 19th century steam locomotives, as well as other historical technology associated with farming and the sugar industry. The main house includes period furniture, original artwork, and a remarkable collection of Native Hawaiian cultural objects.
There are tours twice a day starting at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
