Description

For over 100 years, Henry Nicholas Greenwell and his descendents used this home [at Pulehua] as their headquarters to oversee various ranching activities: rounding up sheep for wool, taming dairy cows to produce butter, and fattening up herds of Hereford cattle. The family enjoyed their Pulehua years where friends and family learned to ride horseback, shoot sheep, pick maile, bake ʻōhelo berry pies, fix leaky waterlines and play card games around the old kitchen table.


This photograph on canvas appeared in Kona Historical Society's 2016 exhibit, Kona Ranching and Kona Cowboys. Dimensions are 11"x14".
