Hana Cultural Center, Hana

Had great artifacts and plenty of knowledge of the natives that once lived there and had a cool old school courthouse the size of a office building that is still used to this day overall really cool to just swing on by on the way to beach and check out the history and the lady was super nice as well

This place is run by all volunteer community members. I would definitely call ahead and see when there will be someone there. Also this is Hāna so if you are a tourist ask a local worker at your hotel or place you are staying and they probably know someone they can call and tell you. While not big it has a lot of interesting artifacts and a wealth of information about Hāna and its people. The big thing to check out if you do go is the HALE, aka HAWAIIAN THATCHED STRUCTURES. The person currently in charge of reconstructing is a Hawaiian master builder. No I'm not taking fake grass shacks but the real deal. If you are lucky you might even be able to join in and help if he is there working. Just think you can go back home and say you did something real.
