  • Photos of Historic Hanapepe Sought

    Hanapepe * Leaders at Hanapepe Economic Alliance (HEA) are seeking
    photographs of buildings and of life in old Hanapepe town. Interpretive
    plaques will include enlarged photos mounted on selected buildings along
    Hanapepe Road. These photos will call attention to historical buildings
    and sites featured in the self-guided Historic Hanapepe Walking Tour map
    published in March, 2005.

    ³We are specifically looking for photos of the older buildings,² said
    Joanna Carolan HEA board member, ³but any photo that shows the old days
    in Hanapepe will be welcomed for this project. Many business owners lost
    photos in the floods that occurred in the early 1960¹s and before the
    Army Corps of Engineers built the levee. It is hoped that some families
    may have kept prints of photos elsewhere and would like to share them.²

    Hanepepe has 43 buildings and sites that meet the criteria for the
    Federal and State historic registry. HEA is a non-profit organization
    that received funding from Hawai`i Tourism Bureau and the County of
    Kaua`i to develop interpretive, historic information and promote this
    heritage for Hanapepe. A goal of the project is to increased
    appreciation for town heritage and the people who built Hanapepe. Over
    the next two years of this project, HEA plans to introduce this map to
    children in schools, and invite young people to learn the history and
    heritage of Hanapepe. Maps are available at most Hanapepe stores.

    Any one who has photographs to share contact Joanna Carolan, 335-5944 or
    Dawn Traina 335-3993. Accepted photos will be duplicated and original
    returned to owner. Photo credit and/or donor name will be included if
    requested. Public is invited to attend HEA meeting Monday, June 20, 5:30
    p.m. at Banana Patch Studio, 3865 Hanapepe Road. To RSVP call 335-5944.
