The Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum was established in 1980 with a grant from Alexander & Baldwin, Inc., as a memorial to early sugar pioneers Samuel T. Alexander and Henry Perrine Baldwin, founders of the company. It was also a gift to the Maui community to mark the 1982 incorporation centennial of Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co., a division of A&B-Hawaii, Inc. The Sugar Museum was established with a board of directors and officers [See: Board of Directors], and an advisory board comprised of individuals with relevant knowledge and interest in this project. In 1980, the IRS granted the museum its status as a subchapter 501 (c) 3 non-profit corporation. Although the museum bears the Alexander & Baldwin name, it is an independent non-profit organization.
