Father's Day. What a perfect occasion to reminisce.
The attached Maui News article, dated August 13, 1960 is worth reading. It's all about the history of Paholei Plantation, now known as Pueo Estate & Mauitouch Ranch, back in the days of mule power, water power and steam power.
Although the article doesn't address the issues of fatherhood, its accompanying photo - however grainy - certainly makes me wonder what the fathers might have been up to at the time.
Based on the bits of information here, I picture Dad living on the land, making decisions that would affect not only his family, but the families yet to come. How did these fathers who were instrumental in the sugar plantation culture celebrate the summers that only such a pristine place could provide? Did they twist their handlebar mustaches while playing bocce ball on the lawns? Did they consider their footprints on this land as instrumental toward developing Maui's future? Were they hoping that the people who would eventually be stewards of the land in the year 2015 would be respectful enough of its history to preserve its sugar mill ruins? Judging from the picture that accompanies the article, I would like to think so.
I would like to invite you to join me on a tour of this historic property located at 2372 Baldwin Avenue, just above Paia Town and below Makawao. You'll be pleased to find that the current owners care deeply enough about the history of the place to have dedicated themselves to restoring the main home (built in 1946) to its rightful position while being mindful of bringing today's conveniences to it. You'll also be pleased to find that the current owners understand the value of preserving the very sugar mill ruins that appear in the article above. In fact, they're now one of the most awe-inspiring aspects of Pueo Estate & Mauitouch Ranch.
Give me a call or drop me a line, and I'll be happy to take all fathers, mothers, sons and daughters to experience the property for themselves. It's worth the trip.
