Kona Historical Society's - The Kona Coffee Living History Farm
"The Uchida project is not a Kona project or a Hawai'i project. It is a national project which tells in eloquent and dramatic language that this is an American Story which represents success, family values, and independence."
Daniel Inouye, U.S. Senator

"… it was the best living history museum yet."
George Takei, actor Commander Sulu in Star Trek

"You have developed a program that is creative, informative, and most crucial…it is interactive and encourages learning in its most stimulating form."
Judith Fox-Goldstein, Director, Univeristy of Hawai'i-Hilo Conference Center and President, Destination Hilo

Old World Wisconsin's Aldo Leopold Environmental History Trail Wayside Exhibits
"The trail we dedicate today is more than a nature trail, it is also a people trail. It ties nature and people together. It takes a historical approach to the interaction between people and nature. It is called the Environmental History Trail. It is a unique idea and Tom Woods is to be commended for coming up with it. . . . [This trail] gives us an ecological interpretation of history."
Marlin Johnson, Aldo Leopold Environmental History Trail Dedication Speaker, June 3, 2000
