The Last Mill


Though "modernized," the Pu'unene Mill is the last operational mill on Maui (the Lahaina and Paia mills closed years ago), and it is one of only two operational mills in all of Hawaii.  The other mill is the Olokele Mill on Kauai, and it will close after the cane currently in the ground is harvested and processed, leaving the Maui Mill as a working symbol of a bygone era.
