Kona Coffee Living History Farm
D. Uchida Farm - A 5.5 acre historic coffee farm first homesteaded in 1900
A “living history” program tells a story through the use of historic buildings, artifacts, and authentic landscapes. Living history gives students and visitors an opportunity to experience history “brought to life” by costumed interpreters who demonstrate traditional crafts, agricultural activities, and the everyday tasks of people from the past.
The Kona Coffee Living History Farm brings the coffee pioneer’s story to life by depicting the daily lives of early Japanese immigrants during the period of 1920-1945. Visitors may walk through the coffee and macadamia nut orchards, tour the historic farmhouse, and visit with the donkey and chickens.
The Uchida project is not a Kona project or a Hawai’i project. It is a national project which tells in eloquent and dramatic language that this is an American Story which represents success, family values, and independence.
