Plantation

The keeper toured a plantation village that explained the migration of all of the different groups to work in the sugar, pineapple plantations.  They have rebuilt cottages, and stocked them as they were in the early 1900's.  Descendants of the original inhabitants tell stories as they give the tours. The keeper had read the book Honolulu which told the story of Korean picture brides who came to Honolulu, their struggles, joys.  The cabins now look much better than they probably did in the day.
