The H.N. Greenwell Store was built in 1870. Today, walk through the restored general store stocked as they were in the past, and peruse photos and artifacts. On Thursdays, the scent of fresh-baked Portuguese bread wafts. Loaves are available for sale and yes, they are delicious! The Portuguese originally came to Hawaii to work in the sugar cane fields in the late 1800’s. There is a small entrance fee and a discount if you visit the Kona Coffee Living History Farm as well. Both are owned by the Kona Historical Society. The Kona Historical Society also maintains the Jean Greenwell Library and Archives, which boasts a large collection of photos, maps, rare and out-of-print books, oral history interviews, video, and much more about Kona.
