The long term mission is:
To build and maintain a Regional Ranching and Paniolo Cultural Center with a focus on the Hawaiian ranching industry and the paniolo (cowboys) that made the industry possible. The Great Waiomina Centennial Celebration, a public awareness program of the Paniolo Preservation Society, beginning in 2007, offers statewide events throughout 2008. These events will publicize our long-term goal of developing a Regional Ranching and Paniolo Cultural Center with an Internet-accessible library of historical archives and thousands of maps and photographs.
