The Historic Hawaii Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving Hawaii's historic places, emphasizing the importance of heritage and cultural preservation. Through advocacy, education, and community involvement, the foundation aims to foster appreciation for Hawaii's unique historical properties and their significance in the state's narrative.
One notable property is the former Puunene School, a two-story concrete building constructed in 1922, which served as a vital educational institution within a thriving plantation community. Recognized for its architectural significance and historical role in Maui's education system, Puunene School stands as a testament to early 20th-century educational practices in Hawaii.
