"Great Museum"

View life in Hawaii in the 1800s at the Lyman Mission House Museum, an old missionary home that’s been converted into a living museum with wonderful artifacts such as old canoe paddles and stone implements. The home, built in 1839, is the oldest frame building on the whole island. Guided tours by docents offer a glimpse into the local history. Displays include period furniture and missionary artifacts.
