Anna's Dream

When Anna died in 1995, Hawaii lost one of its most beloved community leaders. It had been Anna's dream to develop a heritage center on her ranch property to celebrate the history of ranching in Hawaii and the widely acknowledged legacy of her remarkable family.

In recognition of its importance, Anna Ranch was placed on the Hawaii State Register of Historic Places in 2005. The ranch house, built around 1910, and the out-buildings have been restored to a period reflecting both Anna's and her parents' time in residence. Beautiful gardens, the works of local artists, Hawaiian koa wood furniture, ranching gear and countless family photographs tell the story of their remarkable lives as ranchers in Hawaii's century of transition.

When visitors step into this piece of history, Anna's collections of pā'ū costumes, hats, boots and saddles along with her collections of fine china for gracious entertaining convey immediately the vibrant personality and boundless energy that made Anna Perry-Fiske a woman ahead of her time whose legacy continues to shape our island community.
