The Big Island of Hawaii’s Best Museums And Landmarks
The Big Island of Hawaii has many important landmarks and museums to explore. Here are some of the best spots near your vacation rental that are well worth the visit.
Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park
The Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park will give you a glimpse of ancient Hawaii and stunning island views.
The area played an important role for early settlers on the island as a source of food, too. Two fishponds were created in the area and still exist today as an example of Hawaiian ingenuity. Check out the Visitor’s Center for more information about the park’s wildlife and history.
Puʻukoholā Heiau National Historical Site
This is one of the last major temples built by early Hawaiians. Puʻukoholā Heiau National Historical Site is located just off the Kohala Coast and is a significant place of worship for Native Hawaiians. In the late 1700s, Kamehameha the Great was instructed to build a temple to honor the war god Kūkāʻilimoku. This was done to unite the Hawaiian islands, which eventually united in 1810.
Hulihe’e Palace
If you are interested in architecture and the island’s history, you need to seek out Hulihe’e Palace. It was designated as a National Historical site in 1973. Originally, it was the summer home for Hawaiian royalty. Inside, you will find Victorian artifacts from King Kalākaua and Queen Kapi‘olani. There is a lot to look at and see inside these walls. In addition, Mokuaikaua Church, Hawaii’s oldest Christian church, is just across the street.
