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 provides living history programs and exhibits at its historic sites, 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 Portuguese stone oven baking, off-road jeep trips, Hanohano `o Kona (Honoring Kona) Lecture Series, and other special programs of historical and cultural interest.
