The store at the Kona Historical Society was stocked with reproductions made
by Mary Seelhorst and Tom Wood, who did the furnishing plan as well.  Tom is
the principal of "Making Sense of Place" (http://www.makingsenseofplace.com/)
and Mary is a consultant for many historical societies and museums.  You can
reach her at [log in to unmask]<contacts/ui/ContactManager?js=RAW&maximize=true&hide=true&position=absolute&hl=en&emailsLink=true&sk=true&titleBar=false&border=NONE&eventCallback=ParentStub1251312266841&zx=ny1fqm4jungr#>.
BTW, the recreated late 19th century store is an exhibit--not a real store
for buying things!
