Description
Smokestack from the old Pioneer Mill in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii.
Established in 1860, Pioneer Mill Co. was the first plantation to grow sugar commercially in Lahaina and the company built one of Hawai‘i’s first sugar mills. For 139 years, the Pioneer Mill was a mainstay of West Maui’s economy.
Pioneer Mill Co. erected a 225-foot high, brick-and-concrete smokestack in 1928. It was the tallest smokestack in Hawai‘i and became a natural landmark for drivers as well as a navigational guide for fishermen out at sea.
Pioneer Mill Co. ceased operations in 1999.
