The Hawaiian Mission Houses Historic Site & Archives offers guests a chance to see and feel the impact that the New England missionaries made on Hawaii in the 1800s. The missionaries came to the islands in 1820 to introduce Christianity to native Hawaiians, and they were also able to help Hawaii develop systems of written language, public education, Western medicine integration, and representative government.
There are 3 buildings to tour at the Hawaiian Mission Houses Historic Site & Archives: Hawaii's oldest frame house, the Chamberlain House, and the Print House. The tour takes about an hour, but guests usually spend longer to visit the grounds and the gift shop.
