OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Enjoy
a visit to Hana's Cultural Center & Museum, "Hale Waiwai o
Hana", located on Ke'anini Street. Hana's museum is home to
a small display of ancient Hawaiian artifacts, stone tools,
shells, and a collection of antique Chinese and Japanese
bottles. It also houses a beautiful example of the
traditional Hawaiian quilt. Next door to the Museum &
Cultural Center is Hana's original jail and court house
built in 1871 and refurbished in 1989 to look much like it
did in the 19th century and inmates had to mow the grass and
tend the grounds. It is still used monthly for county court
sessions.
Also located on the grounds are examples of traditional
Hawaiian grass hale (houses), including a meeting house, a
sleeping house, a cooking house, and a canoe house. Hana is
the birthplace of the famous Queen Kaahumanu, wife of King
Kamehameha I.
