Historic Preservation Day at the Capitol
On March 5th, Historic Hawaii Foundation, in partnership with the Heritage Caucus of the Hawaii State Legislature, hosted the annual "Historic Preservation Day at the Capitol."
This public-private partnership with the State Legislature’s Heritage Caucus is one example of how the public, private and non-profit sectors working together can make a measurable difference in protecting and preserving the historic and cultural places of Hawai‘i.
Historic Preservation Awareness Day is part of the collaborative effort to demonstrate the range of business, education, advocacy and arts organizations engaged in this work.
