Englishman Henry Nicholas Greenwell arrived on the Big Island around 1850 and, soon after, purchased a parcel of land in Kalukalu. On his farm, he raised cattle and grew everything from pumpkins and coffee to tobacco and corn. The only standing reminder of Greenwell's legacy is a stone-walled general store, which now houses a museum chock full of historic photos and artifacts. This rustic structure dates from the 1870s and was the community gathering place for several years. The Society also offers walking tours of the historic Uchida coffee farm and the village of Kailua – call ahead for reservations.
