Historic Hawaii Foundation

The Cooke Foundation provided support for a statewide series of historic preservation workshops to assist communities to identify, protect, and celebrate historic places that tell the stories of each island and place. Over 130 people attended one of the workshops on Kauai, Oahu, Maui, Lanai, or Hawaii Island (offered in both Kona and Hilo). The detailed information provided at these events will help both grassroots organizations and professionals working in planning, architecture, archaeology, development, engineering, finance, and government to understand how to identify and describe places of historic and cultural significance, and methods to protect and perpetuate these properties. Attendees were enthusiastic about learning techniques that will help them save places that matter in their communities.
