About the Clubhouse

The Puamana clubhouse was built in 1919 as the home for the Lunas of the Sugar Cane fields (Luna means the Boss in Hawaiian). The clubhouse is rich in traditions and housed many prominent Maui families. The popular Hawaiian song “Puamana” was written by Aunty Emma Farden Sharpe about their home that was actually down Front street near Lahaina Shores…
