About this property
There are two heritage railways in Kauaʻi , the birthplace of Hawaiian railroading. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 19, 1979. The Grove Farm Sugar Plantation Museum preserved original steam locomotives from the earliest days of rail transport in Kauaʻi, restoring the small-gauge engines without much notice beyond the local community. The museum acquired property where historic right-of-ways had run, and found, in the thick vegetation, track beds ready for restoration, allowing the Museum to display their authentic, working locomotives. The second heritage railway in Kauaʻi is the Kauaʻi Plantation Railway at Kilohana.
