Kohala Oral History Project creates documentary about plantation era

An oral history of Kohala as told by residents of the area during the final years of its sugar plantation era will be presented today and Tuesday at the Lyman Museum in Hilo.

“This Is Kohala” is a half-hour documentary created by the Kohala Oral History Project, made up of interviews with more than 20 Kohala residents as a way to preserve the history of a time and place that is increasingly lost to time.
