Kona Historical Society Tour. Preregistration required. The Kona Coffee Living History Farm is a “must see” Hawaii attraction and the only living history coffee farm in the nation. Stroll through this award-winning, historic farm that tells the story of Kona’s coffee pioneers during the early 20th century. On our guided tour we will walk among the coffee trees, meet a “Kona Nightingale”, and watch how farmers used the kuriba and hoshidana to mill and dry their world-famous coffee. As part of our visit, we’ll learn how to pick coffee, before helping to roast the beans! After stopping for a cup of Kona coffee, we’ll stop by the Portuguese Stone Oven. This wood-fired forno is where we’ll join the staff and people from the community to talk story, roll dough, and bake it. (Yes! We can take some bread home with us!) Finally, we’ll stop by the H.N. Greenwell Store Museum the oldest surviving store, and one of the oldest buildings in the Hawaii. Constructed in 1870, the store once served the immigrant community with supplies and goods needed in the remote Kona district. When you walk into the restored State & Nationally Historic registered H.N. Greenwell Store, you cross the threshold into the 1890s. As you enter the broad front doors, the mingled aromas of a general store serving the needs of Kona ranches waft through the air. Stocked with accurate reproductions of goods that filled the shelves and hung from the ceiling joists, the store offers a glimpse of activities at Kalukalu over a century ago. You won’t leave this place without feeling that you have been transported back in time for a rare glimpse into Kona’s colorful past. Tour leaves the Sheraton Kona lobby at 8:45AM, returning at approximately 12:30. This tour is $50. Proceeds from admission and sales go directly to educational programs and preservation projects at the Kona Historical Society.
