Among the many influences that defidne life in Hawai‘i are the multifaceted enterprises of THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER- DAY SAINTS . In 1865, the church purchased a 6,000-acre plantation on O‘ahu’s North Shore in Lā‘ie.
By 1919, a temple had been constructed at the site, and then came a college, which is now a branch campus of Brigham Young University. HAWAI‘I TEMPLE VISITORS’ CENTER is a striking structure with an interesting story.
