The Eva Parker Woods Cottage was built by Frank Woods and Eva, the descendants of John Palmer Parker, who founded Hawaii's famed Parker Ranch.

Over half a century ago, the late Francis H. I'i Brown, a sportsman and socialite with royal Hawaiian lineage, acquired the fishponds and surrounding lands from the family of Eva Parker Woods. A man equally at home in the worlds of black tie and fast cars, or bare feet and fishing canoes, Brown treasured Kalahuipua'a as a retreat from the demands of urban life: a place to fish, talk story, carouse; a place where he could reach back to the simpler lifestyle of his royal Hawaiian ancestors. It was here, amongst the palms and fishponds that Brown set to work refurbishing the fishponds and cottage. He spent the most time here with his sweetheart, Winona Love, the acclaimed Hawaiian hula dancer and beauty. The Eva Parker Woods Cottage, still stands today and is a favorite site for Hawaii weddings and romance.

History buffs will enjoy the modest but unique exhibit that opens a window into the past inhabitants of the area. The Cottage contains displays on the ancient Hawaiian canoe, fishing gear, household items, spears and gourds. Samples of tapa, a ti leaf cape and sandals can be seen along with feather, haku and wili leis. Of particular interest is an ancient Hawaiian stone fish god, an akua, revered by Hawaiian fishermen and families. At the cottage you are likely to meet Historian, Danny Akaka, Jr. as offers tours of the Cottage and ancient Hawaiian fishponds.
