Kalaupapa National Historical Park, Molokai
Established in 1980, this National Historical Park was once home to Saint Damien andSaint Marianne. These beloved missionaries brought hope to the people of Kalaupapa, patients who were diagnosed with Hansen's disease and had been exiled to the remote—and strikingly beautiful—peninsula located on the northern coast of Molokai.
