OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Step back in
time to an authentic living history
experience where our historical sites
present you with a vivid and unforgettable
story of Hawaii's past. Come experience the
1880’s in the H.N. Greenwell Store Museum
where the shopkeeper will help you gather
your supplies for your trip up Kona mauka.
The mingled aromas of coffee beans and
oranges blend together again, just as they
did over 100 years ago when goods were sold
here in the heydey of Kona ranching.
Stroll through the award-winning Kona Coffee
Living History Farm that tells the story of
Kona’s coffee pioneers during the years
1926-1945. It is America’s only living
history coffee farm where you may “talk
story” with costumed historians and discover
the history behind Kona’s gourmet crop.
You won’t leave this place without feeling
you have experienced a rare glimpse into
Hawaii's colorful past.
The Kona Historical Society is a community
based, non-profit organization that was
founded in 1976 to collect, preserve and
share the history of the Kona districts
supported by over 1000 members
internationally.
The society maintains two historic sites and
the Jean Greenwell Archives, which boasts
the largest photograph collection on the Big
Island; over 140 maps; many rare and
out-of-print books; historical records
including manuscripts, pamphlets and oral
history interviews; and films and videotapes
of Kona.
It also provides two living history
programs, the H.N. Greenwell Store Museum
and the Kona Coffee Living History Farm
where costumed interpreters interact with
visitors as they learn about Kona’s history
through hands on activities. Other programs
include off-road tours, lectures, living
history programs, and historic preservation. |
