Kalaupapa Leprosy Settlement & National Historic Park
UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS CLOSED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
The Kalaupapa peninsula was chosen in 1865 as the place to isolate people with, what was at that time, an incurable illness. It was deemed a National Park in 1980 in order to preserve the two leper colonies which operated from 1866 to 1969, and had over 8,500 residents over the decades.
