The tourist attraction known as the Dole Plantation was established in 1950 as a mere fruit stand in the middle of Dole's original pineapple fields. In 1989, the fruit stand was transformed into a plantation home mounted on what looks like a hill of red dirt, characteristic of Wahiawa. The plantation home became a living museum and historical archive of the life and work of the industrialist. The Plantation also features the world's largest maze, grown entirely out of native Hawaiian plants. In 1991, the original Dole Cannery closed its operations and was transformed into a multi-purpose facility with media studios, conference rooms and ballrooms. The lower levels houses a modern shopping center and a 16-screen multiplex cinema owned by Regal Entertainment Group. The actual ginaca machines and cannery storage were preserved and turned into a museum of Hawaiian Pineapple Company history. Millions of visitors from around the world flock to these institutions annually. #7 of 30 Things To Do in Kahana Wheeler Army Airfield Oahu Island HI ~12.88 miles from Kahana city center Hotels Close to Wheeler Army Airfield Wheeler Army Airfield is a United States Army post located in Honolulu on the Island of O'ahu, Hawaii.

In the three months these ships were in Hawaii, it is assumed that all crewmen came ashore at one time or another. It is this period, 1789, which Hawaii Chinese historians commemorate as the official arrival of the first Chinese in Hawaii.In the 1800s, Chinatown became a community of family stores where the Chinese sold their wares. First Contract Laborers It wasn’t until 1852 that the Chinese became the first contract laborers to arrive in the islands. With the growth of the sugar industry, the need for plantation laborers became imperative, and China was selected as the best source of immediate cheap labor due to proximity and the interest of the Chinese in coming to Hawaii to work. Captain John Cass of the British ship Thetis brought 293 Chinese men under contract for five years at $3.00 per month to work in the plantations. Working conditions on the plantations would undoubtedly be considered harsh by today’s standards, but for many were better than what they had known in their home villages in China. Between 1852 and 1876, 3,908 Chinese were imported as contract laborers, compared with only 148 Japanese and 223 South Sea Islanders. Around 1882, the Chinese in Hawaii formed nearly 49% of the total plantation working force, and for a time outnumbered Caucasians in the islands. By 1884, the Chinese population in Honolulu reached 5,000, and the number of Chinese doing plantation work declined. The Chinese were very enterprising, and preferred to become self-employed. As a group they became very important in business in Hawaii, and 75% of them were concentrated in the 25 acres of downtown called Chinatown where they built their clubhouses, herb shops, restaurants, temples and retail stores. In 1896, there were 153 Chinese stores in Honolulu, of which 72 were in Chinatown. Chinatown Fires In 1886, calamity struck Chinatown when a fire raged out of control and destroyed the homes of 7,000 Chinese and 350 Native Hawaiians and most of Chinatown. The fire lasted three days and destroyed over eight blocks of Chinatown. The Legislative Assembly enacted laws to regulate the re-building of Chinatown in accordance with fire precautions, but many new buildings were put up in violation of government rules. This contributed to the even larger conflagration of 1900 which came about as a result of deliberate fires set by the Board of Health in an effort to wipe out the bubonic plague which was spreading through Chinatown. The Chinese Store – A Slice of Old Chinatown Life The Chinese store was an important social institution to the immigrants. The storekeepers loaned money, acted as a bank and post office, and wrote and read letters for the illiterate immigrants. The Chinese store also offered a place to stay and a meal, usually for people who came from the same village back home. The stores operated this way even into the 1930s. In less than 10 years after the arrival of the first large group of Chinese laborers, 60% of the wholesale and retail establishments of the islands were operated by Chinese. By 1880, they held 24% of the wholesale, 62% of the retail and 85% of the restaurant licenses issued. #22 of 30 Things To Do in Kahana Foster Botanical Gardens Oahu Island HI ~16.08 miles from Kahana city center Hotels Close to Foster Botanical Gardens #23 of 30 Things To Do in Kahana Police Beach Waimea (Oahu) HI ~16.20 miles from Kahana city center Hotels Close to Police Beach #24 of 30 Things To Do in Kahana Contemporary Museum Oahu Island HI ~16.32 miles from Kahana city center Hotels Close to Contemporary Museum Looking for a respite from the sand, sea and palm trees? The Contemporary Museum on Oahu is a Hidden Place where you can happily spend an hour or a day. Located on Honolulu’s scenic Makiki Heights, The Contemporary Museum combines exhibitions of contemporary art with terraced gardens and spectacular views. The museum’s satellite gallery, The Contemporary Museum at First Hawaiian Center in downtown Honolulu, features rotating exhibitions of the work of Hawaii artists. The Contemporary Museum (TCM) is the only museum in the state of Hawaii devoted exclusively to contemporary art in a beautifully preserved structure that maintains a subtle blending of Asian and island features. The collections present contemporary art from the 1940s in rotating exhibits. Artists represented include Josef Albers, Jennifer Bartlett, Jasper Johns, Robert Motherwell, Louise Nevelson, Masami Teraoka, and Andy Warhol. There are permanent, temporary and traveling exhibitions, one-man and group shows, gallery talks by artists and curators, performances, and daily docent tours. Exhibitions offer interaction with art and artists in a unique island environment. The Makiki Heights location also includes a a garden café that presents several changing exhibitions each year‚ an eclectic museum shop, and a library. The gardens at TCM's Makiki Heights are a destination in themselves. Completed between 1928 and 1941 by Reverend K.H. Inagaki, a local minister with a love for landscape architecture, the gardens were designed to provide a place to retreat, meditate and experience the harmony of nature. The gardens include wide expanses of lawn, reflecting pools, a sun-drenched tropical terrace garden, views of Diamond Head, walking paths, and places to sit. The garden is open to the public during museum hours and is a natural setting for viewing art works as well as a quiet place for contemplation and renewal. The Contemporary Museum also has a site in the corporate headquarters of First Hawaiian Bank in downtown Honolulu. The venue provides a convenient downtown location to view art by resident artists, former residents of Hawaii, or artists who have created a body of work in the Islands. Flanked by a dramatic art-glass wall consisting of 185 prisms, the galleries are located in the main banking hall and on the second floor of First Hawaiian Center.
