The Koloa Plantation Sesquicentennial Monument was dedicated on July 27, 1985 as part of the centennial celebration, but the sculptures were unveiled a year later, in July 1986. Built near the stack of the 1841 Koloa Mill, the monument features bronze sculptures that memorialize the eight major ethnic groups that made Koloa Plantation a success story. Left to right: Hawaiian (not shown), Caucasian (not installed), Puerto Rican, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese, and Filipino, arranged in the order they arrived in the Hawaiian Islands. Missing is what Jan Gordon Fisher, Brigham Young University professor and sculptor, envisioned as a Caucasian riding a horse next to the Hawaiian, but the sculpture was not installed. May 5, 2014.
