2006-Feb. 1---Kauai Museum:

One of the things we did with my Dad before Tim and Faith arrived was to go to the Kauai Museum in Lihue. In it is a permanent display of art and artifacts of Native Hawaiians. While we were there they also had a beautiful exhibit of hand made quilts and a photography exhibit--not sure if those are permanent or were special exhibits. The building was built from 1922-1924 as a public library in memory of Albert Wilcox by his wife Emma. When the Albert Spencer Wilcox Memorial Building became too small for it's library collection, and changes to buildings on the National Historic Register can't be made, a new library was built in 1969 and the Wilcox building soon became part of the Kauai Museum. I think admission at that time was about $8@, but it was an interesting museum in a really beautiful historic building.

Unfortunately no pictures are allowed inside.  Didn't do much else today---a little shopping, a little eating, some cribbage playing.  The calm before the storm.
