Kona Coffee Living History Farm Expansion

Kona Historical Society's Kona Coffee Living History Farm
A New Home for The Kona Coffee Story: Along the Hawaii Belt Road

The Kona Historical Society is raising $1.5 million over the next three years to expand its award-winning Kona Coffee Living History Farm. The money raised will be used to create a permanent exhibit space for “ The Kona Coffee Story: Along the Hawai’i Belt Road,” the award-winning display created by the Japanese American National Museum, the Kona Japanese Civic Association, and the Kona Club of Honolulu. Funds from this capital campaign will also go towards purchasing the farm property, building bathrooms at the site, expanding the parking lot, and creating an endowment fund.

Above is a conceptual drawing of the new building that will house the permanent exhibit, gift shop, and bathrooms. This structure will be placed in the field just south of the current parking lot and bus turn-around.

We greatly appreciate your support!

The exhibit won the "Certification of Commendation" from the American Association for State & Local History, and traveled in the US, Brazil, and throughout the State of Hawai`i before being donated to the Kona Historical Society.
