• Leonard’s Bakery Malasada Truck - In June 1882, the British sailing ship ‘Monarch’ brought Arsenio and Amelia DoRego from San Miguel Island, Portugal, to Maui, Hawai’i, under contract to work the sugar cane fields. Thirty-three years later, their grandson Leonard was born. In 1946, Leonard and his wife Margaret moved to Honolulu with their daughter Diane, age 8. Leonard worked at Snowflake Bakery until founding Leonard’s Bakery℠ in 1952.

Leonard and Margaret, both from large families, were no strangers to hard work. The bakery thrived.

Although initially hesitant, Leonard’s bakers complied, and malasadas became a huge hit, sparking a craving for them in Hawaii.

Registered as a National Historic Landmark since 1962 and the only official royal residence in the United States, the Palace is one of Hawaii’s most recognizable buildings. Meticulously restored to its former grandeur, Iolani Palace tells of a time when their Majesties, King Kalakaua and his sister and successor, Queen Liliuokalani, walked the grand halls.

• King Kamehameha Statue - The majestic statue of King Kamehameha I stands proudly in front of Ali’iolane Hale in Downtown Honolulu. It is a casting of one of Hawaii’s most beloved and revered rulers, Kamehameha the Great, who was the first to unify all the islands and welcome westerners to his lands.

Kamehameha was a respected warrior and leader, uniting Hawaii into one royal kingdom in 1810 after years of conflict. He encouraged foreign trade and technology while avoiding foreign rule. The 18-foot bronze statue depicts him extending his hand in a welcoming gesture of aloha.

King Kamehameha commissioned Ali’iolani Hale to be the royal palace of the Hawaiian Monarchy. Built in the Italian Renaissance Revival style, its name means ‘House of the Heavenly King’. Ali’iolani Hale eventually became an administrative building and now houses the Supreme Court of Hawaii and the Judiciary History Center.
