Kalaupapa National Historical Park at a Glance

The Kalaupapa National Historical Park is a portal to a number of historic sites on Molokai, such as the Kalawao Coast and the Kalaupapa peninsula. Kalaupapa is the location of the former leprosy settlement on the island. Until today, the peninsula still houses survivors of leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease. 

Father Damien’s Church on Molokai is a particularly attractive site as his church on the Kalawao Coast serves as a reminder of how the Catholic priest built his ministry among those who have been isolated by the government because of leprosy.

The park's historical features, however, are not the only points of interest. Kalaupapa National Historical Park has a rich composition of flora and fauna. The park likewise serves as a safe habitat for endangered species in Hawaii.

Unfortunately, the only visitors allowed in the park are those who are over the age of sixteen. Because Kalaupapa is a settlement of Hansen's disease survivors, you are required by state law to have a permit before visiting the park.

The National Park Service and the Hawaii State Department of Health share joint management of the park.

  • Kalaupapa peninsula is the site of a former leprosy settlement
  • It was here where Father Damien helped those inflicted with the disease
  • Kalaupapa peninsula is one of the most scenic areas on Molokai; it's surrounded by the world's highest sea cliffs
