Item Description
Return to the 19th century on a lantern-lit tour as we visit several historical graves, hear their owners' stories at the Christ Church Graveyard, the oldest Anglican church in the state of Hawai'i. Granny Greenwell, as played by award-winning Kona Historian Maile Melrose, will be your hostess as you learn about the son of the richest man in England and how he came to be buried there; the first Hawaiian buried there; and the mystery surrounding a minister's final resting place. A fascinating journey through Kona's history you won't want to miss!
