Capitol of Old Hawai'i |
364 South King Street Honolulu, HI 96813 United States +1 808 522 0822 http://www.iolanipalace.org |
Built in 1882 by Hawaii's last king, David Kalakaua, this stately old three-story building is a real treat to tour. After the overthrow of the King's sister Queen Liliuokalani in 1893, the structure served as the territorial and state capitol until 1969. The Palace Galleries showcases jewels and regalia from the days of Hawaiian royalty. Guided tours are offered every 30 minutes and reservations are suggested. Admission for Grand Tour is USD20 for adults and USD5 for children aged 5-17. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Relics of the missionary past |
553 South King Street Between Alapai & Punchbowl Honolulu, HI 96813-3002 United States +1 808 531 0481 http://www.missionhouses.org/ |
Protestant missionaries established their headquarters on this site in 1820. The prim New England-style white Frame House dates to 1821. The Coral House, so named because it was built from blocks of coral, houses the original iron and mahogany printing press. Descendants of the state's missionary families operate the museum. Museum tours are given daily. On Kama`aina Days "living history" guides dressed in period costume demonstrate 19th-century life in Hawaii. Check website for details. Review © 2007, Wcities |
