All of the romance and intrigue of the ranching lifestyle is embodied in the history of the Anna Ranch Heritage Center. The ranch dates back to the early 20th century and is fully restored for visitors to tour and enjoy.

The Honolulu Academy of Arts was founded in 1922 and opened to the public on April 8, 1927. It was the vision of Anna Rice Cooke, a woman born into a prominent missionary family on O‘ahu in 1853. Growing up in a home that appreciated the arts, she went on to marry Charles Montague Cooke, also of a prominent missionary family, and the two settled in Honolulu. In 1882, they built a home on Beretania Street, on the site that would become home to the museum. In 1961, Thurston Twigg-Smith opened an art gallery—the Contemporary Art Center—within the Honolulu Advertiser building, which he owned. The gallery featured work from Twigg-Smith's collection and work by local artists. In 1988, the Twigg-Smith family donated Spalding House, which was built by Honolulu Academy of Arts founder Anna Rice Cooke, to create The Contemporary Museum, a private, nonprofit museum for contemporary art in Honolulu. In 2011, The Contemporary Museum gifted its assets and collection to the Honolulu Academy of Arts and in 2012, the combined museum changed its name to the Honolulu Museum of Art.

Honolulu Theatre for Youth was founded in 1955 and is the only professional, non-profit theater in Hawaii. The aim of the theater is to produce performances that make a difference in the lives of young people, families and educators in the state of Hawaii. Past programs include "The Dinosaur Play," "Navigator" and "The New Sense-sational Show." Public performances are held on weekends at Tenney Theatre, which is at the Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew.
