A nice place for an original statue of King Kamehameha from 1880!
It is a wonderful reminder of the history of Hawai'i.
I didn't walk in/around the building but there's lots of inflation if you like to read that.
There is also a veterans tribute signage as well.

The statue is amazing. The posted information is very interesting. Well worth checking out if you're driving around.

The history of how much was gone through to get the statue there and just keep it up is amazing. King Kamehameha was truly a good man, and the story is definitely a good one!

There was a statue of King Kamehameha the Great.
After taking photos, you can see a beautiful sunset on your way home, so we recommend going about 30 minutes before sunset ?♂️

Would have liked more history. There are other interesting tidbits about Hawaiian royalty and people of interest on the building.

The entire grounds are well manicured with well kept restroom facilities. Kept in its turn of the century original form. More than adequate parking on the grounds. The ancient game stones remain accessible with no barrier as is the sacred statue of the Great One. The unpolished solid wood pughs are original and a comfortable resting place in shade on the wrap around porch with a water fountain. There's a Veterans Memorial dating from WW1 serving as the backdrop to the Militant King who united the Island Kingdom with an eerily interesting history of the lost, but then miraculously recovered shipwrecked statue from the Pacific depths, to its original and final resting place in Kohala. A most fantastic feature at the birthplace of a sacred and most celebrated King of the Aloha State.

It's nothing special. But... We still stopped up pay respect to the king that united the islands. Also... The only public restrooms in the area are there :-)

We drove up the coast from Kona and set this as our destination. It's not worth a special trip, unless you are interested in the history. It's just a small statue right off the highway. Since it was sprinkling rain we didn't even get out of the car, just turned around in the parking lot. We found a nice beach park a little further up the road so the trip wasn't a total bust.
