Mission Houses Museum

Visit the Mission Houses Museum and hear the dramatic story of Hawaii’s first Protestant Missionaries that brought the gospel to Hawaiians, bringing spiritual and the cultural change in 19th-century Hawaii. Museum guides are dressed in period clothing and lead tours through the oldest wood frame house still standing in the Hawaiian Islands, shipped around Cape Horn from Boston in 1820. It was used as a communal home by many missionary families who shared it with island visitors and boarders.

The museum contains a replica of the first printing press brought to Hawaii as this is where some of the first books and printed materials in Hawaii were produced. The restored printing office shows how early Missionaries and native Hawaiians collaborated on the production of numerous books and other printed materials first printed in the Hawaiian language.

You can easily get to the Mission House Museum on the Waikiki Trolley Red Line stop #10.
