Exhibit ‘A Queen’s Legacy’
Wednesday
Kaua‘i Museum
A display by Queen Lili‘uokalani Children’s Center commemorates the 171st birthday of Queen Lili‘uokalani in the Heritage Gallery. A descendant of a long line of Hawaiian chiefs, Lydia Kamakaeha, became Queen of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i Jan. 29, 1881, a few short years before being imprisoned in her own home, ‘Iolani Palace.
Lili‘uokalani, Hawai‘i’s last monarch, died on Nov. 11, 1917 at Washington Place. A most beloved Queen by her people, Lili‘u entrusted her estate to provide for orphan and destitute children in the Hawaiian Islands with preference for Hawaiian children. Her legacy is perpetuated through the Queen Lili‘uokalani Children’s Center. The exhibit will be on display through Sept. 8.
