Fascinating place with the oldest building in Hawaii and very knowledgeable docents. Tour provides a lot of information about the missionaries and how they incorporated with the Hawaiian royalty.

Enjoyed strolling the grounds of Museum, being transported back to a more peaceful way of being and time. Will definitely return to learn more with a tour. The gift shop is beautifully arranged with books and by local artists.. Simply Amazing, and i tell you what .. 'The North Shore Goodies' Original Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter is absolutely delectable. Highly recommend grabbing a couple jars to take home. Will have to get the Banana MacNut Peanut Butter, next time!

I appreciated being able to see these preserved building from the missionary era of Hawaiian history. It represents a fundamental change in culture, way of life, and ushering in the Hawaii we know today. It is good to look back at history honestly whether positive or negative. It is how things came to be. We learn from the past, what to emulate and what to change.

Cool place with lots of history about the missionaries and their life in Hawaii. They have a printing press which was great for the kids and adults to see in action. The old missionary house is the original house from the 1800s.
