Description
Founded in 1849 by Heinrich Hackfeld and J.C. Pflueger, the firm grew to own 60,000 acres of land and established the Hackfeld Department Store. The gate explores the wider history of Germans in Hawai'i through the company’s path, following its development up to its seizure during World War I and eventual transition into Amfac.
