115) Pu`uhonua O Hōnaunau National Historical Park

Visited: Monday, October 16, 2017

Pu`uhonua O Hōnaunau is a fascinating site - Hawaiian royalty lived there, and anyone could use the other half of the site for refuge.  The konane board was fascinating - it's too abstract a game for me, but a nice mix of Othello and Checkers.  The park was saved by Charles Reed Bishop - the same man who created the Bishop Museum in Honolulu to honor his wife.  Fascinating gentleman from Glen Falls, NY - I'm very thankful for him, over 100 years after he passed away.
