Located on Hawaii’s Big Island, Waimea (also known as Kamuela) is famous for its paniolo (cowboy) culture. You’ll find working ranches there like Parker Ranch, once the largest ranch in the United States. Visit the Paniolo Preservation Society, which chronicles cowboy culture from the first cattle gifted to the state in 1793 and the mentoring of early ranchers by Mexican vaqueros. The Society’s Heritage Center features a collection of beautifully crafted saddles, whips, bridles and spurs as well as a Hall of Fame honoring those who made paniolo culture legendary.
