Kiahuna History Continued....

The Hawaiian Temple area has recently become a part of the Koloa Heritage Trail, a route that leads through the Koloa-Poipu Beach area highlighting culture, history and natural beauty.

More recently, the Kiahuna Plantation grounds were the estate of Hector and Alexandra Moir. Following their marriage in 1930, the couple moved to their new home in what is now the architectural centerpiece of Alexandra’s Moir Gardens. Much of the home was built with lava rocks from the local area.

Hector was the manager of Hawaii's first sugar plantation, the Koloa Sugar Plantation. The Moirs entertained islanders with parties, dinners, galas and other events during their years in the home.
