The Camp Tarawa Museum and Educational Center
Waikoloa Village-District of South Kohala-Hawai'i Island
The Camp Tarawa Detachment is dedicated to building a state-of-the-art museum and education facility in the District of South Kohala, Hawai’i. World War II ushered an important era of military, ranching, and farming history in South Kohala. Camp Tarawa was the area where the 2nd and 5th Marine divisions trained in preparation for the Saipan-Tinian and Iwo Jima campaigns and for the anticipated invasion of Japan. It is to these men who sacrificed so much for their generation and future generations, to the Parker Ranch and the people of South Kohala in their support of the war effort, that we dedicate our efforts to build the Camp Tarawa Museum.
Our goals are to:
•
Build a museum that will focus on Camp Tarawa, Parker Ranch, and the people of South Kohala during a crucial era in our country – World War II.
