The famous statue of Kamehameha I in downtown Honolulu is one of the state's most popular landmarks. Many tourists–and residents–however, are unaware that the statue is a replica; the original, cast in Paris in the 1880s and the first statue in the Islands, stands before the old courthouse in rural Kapa`au, North Kohala, the legendary birthplace of Kamehameha I.
