After leaving the Grove Farm Plantation, our tour took us to the Kilohana, which contains the historic 16,000 square foot mansion built in 1936 by sugar baron, Gaylord Wilcox, the nephew of George Wilcox, for his family and for entertaining. The mansion is still there, now filled with restaurants, antique shop, art galleries, gift shops.
The estate's 104 acres can now be explored via the Kauai Plantation Railway, which winds its way through the working plantation of sugar cane, fruit orchards, animals and forests.

Kauai was a beautiful island, with the residents determined to keep it as rural as possible. Large box stores have now been banned. Hope they succeed.
