`Enduring Engineering: Man's Genius and Quest to Explore` is the theme. Touch screens, photo murals, artifacts and models delve into Polynesian navigation, ancient aquaculture and sugar plantation irrigation. Photos show a 125 year period tracing Captain Cook's `discovery` of Hawaii, the building of the Russian Fort Elisabeth and Waimea's stint as the seat of Kauai government.
