Mission Houses Museum

Introduction

The Mission Houses Museum in downtown Honolulu is one of the oldest Western-style building complexes in Hawaii, built by New England missionaries in 1821. It preserves the historical memory of missionaries who sailed across the ocean to the Hawaiian Islands, displaying a large collection of 19th-century furniture, household items, manuscripts, and rare photographs that vividly recreate the daily life of early missionary families. The Frame House is the oldest structure, built in New England style but using Hawaiian coral stone and timber, reflecting a unique architectural blend of two cultures. The museum regularly hosts historical lectures and educational programs, serving as an important window into Hawaii's modern cultural transformation.
