Kalaupapa National Historical Park
Kalaupapa National Historical Park is located on the island of Molokai in Hawaii. It preserves the history of the Kalaupapa settlement, where individuals with leprosy, or Hansen's disease, were isolated from the late 1800s to the 1960s. The park includes the historic community, cultural sites, and stunning landscapes.
The park honors the legacy of those who lived in Kalaupapa, including the work of Father Damien, a Belgian priest who dedicated his life to caring for the residents. Visitors can learn about the challenges faced by the community and the importance of compassion and understanding in addressing health issues.
