The annual event was established in 1994 because not enough locals were aware of these places. Many of the participating sites are normally closed on the weekends, restricting access. It is truly a public service. We are one of the oldest police departments in the United States. The museum houses guns galore and paraphernalia, but eyes are drawn to the photographs lining the walls, dating from 1889 to today.
Photos range from the rescue of lost children to getting injured in the line of fire.
Also displayed is an officer's report of his encounter with a ghost on the Pali. For those who want a taste of Medieval times, head for the bell tower at St. Andrew's Cathedral. The cathedral tower's narrow staircase leading to its bell tower makes one think of the Hunchback of Notre Dame. The eight English bells are actually rung by eight humans pulling on ropes. The English bells, cast in 1812, weigh between 600 and 1,400 pounds each and were a gift to the cathedral in 1991.
