Kalaupapa National Historical Park

Kalaupapa National Historical Park, located on the remote island of Molokai, preserves the history and experiences of two former Hansen’s disease (leprosy) settlements. This park serves as a refuge for the few remaining residents who, though cured, continue to live in isolation. Visitors can explore this poignant site, which requires permits and organized transport due to its secluded location. The park offers a unique opportunity to learn about the challenging and often heartbreaking stories of those who lived here, set against the backdrop of Molokai’s rugged and beautiful landscape.
