There are almost 100 museums between the few islands of Hawaii. Picking one to visit really has more to do with were you are located. You can pick the best resorts Hawaii has available and then find a great museum near where you are staying. Finding local museums is always fun and interesting. Besides just sleeping on the beach all day and after doing all those high energy water sports you may find wondering through a museum relaxing and entertaining.
If you are on the big island near Captain Cook, you can check out the preservation of the local history at the Kona Historical Society . This is a chance to step back in time and see how the people lived and worked. See an old Hawaiian village with the old general store, and an old coffee farm. This historical preserve is filled with many stories of people who worked in the coffee industry that were as rich as the special blends they made. It is the only historical coffee farm in America and it is fascinating.
When in Hilo, you want to stop in at the Pacific Tsunami Museum and see how these powerful storms have effected the islands. Learn how a Tsunami is generated in the ocean and how, over the years, people have been learned how to know when one is coming. Learn about the many Tsunami’s that have taken place on the island and around the world. They have some amazing stories that come from the survivors of these devastating water storms.
Laupahoehoe has the Laupahoehoe Train Museum for the locomotive enthusiasts who enjoy seeing how the train has influenced the growth of an area. The museum is the old home of the station agent and is furnished in decor of the early 1900s. Much of the train railway of the past has been destroyed by Tsunami’s but this museum has been able to collect some artifacts, photographs and other memorabilia from the old railway days.
