Awards and Honors
Tourism Cares for the Kona Historical Society
Our most recent award is from the group,Tourism Cares, the tourism industry’s premier charitable organization for preservation, conservation, restoration and education in tourism. Kona Historical Society was honored as part of the winter 2010 Worldwide Grant Program. The Society is among six global recipients this season to receive one of the prestigious grants, which are presented to worthy tourism-related nonprofits in need of support. The Tourism Cares Worldwide Grant funding will assist in the restoration of the Kona Coffee Living History Farm, which is a unique site, as it is the only living history coffee farm in the United States. The project aims to restore the historic structures and protect them from environmental factors for the safety of staff and visitors.
