Molokai: The Best Hawaiian Island You've Never Visited

About 1.5 million years ago two large volcanoes, Kamakou inrepparttar east and Maunaloa inrepparttar 133802 west, pushed throughrepparttar 133803 ocean's surface and formedrepparttar 133804 island of Molokai. It first became inhabited around 650 A.D. by daring settlers traveling

in double hulled canoes from Tahiti and other areas inrepparttar 133805 South Pacific. Ofrepparttar 133806 roughly 7,000 residents about 40% are of Hawaiian descent, hencerepparttar 133807 moniker "The Most Hawaiian Island". Here's a quick list of places I visited in Molokai...

Kalaupapa National Historical Park: The settings of two tragic chapters starting inrepparttar 133808 mid 19th century withrepparttar 133809 removal of indigenous people from this spot followed byrepparttar 133810 forced quarantining of leprosy patients here.

RW Meyer Sugar Mill Museum: Also known asrepparttar 133811 Molokai Museum and Cultural Center, this retired sugar mill was built inrepparttar 133812 late 1870's to crush and process sugar cane. The family home, which overlooksrepparttar 133813 mill, is still owned by RW Meyer family members.
