Mission Houses Museum
Honolulu, Hawaii

The Mission Houses Museum was established in 1920 to preserve the history of missionary life in 19th century Hawaii. It is located in the capitol district of downtown Honolulu, next to the historic Kawaiahao Church and Lunalilo Mausoleum

The Mission Houses Museum was established by the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society in 1920. Historic buildings on the grounds include three original frame homes that were built in New England and shipped to Hawaii for the missionaries, plus a school house and a printing house. The museum also includes a research library, an orientation center, a gift shop, and a cafe called the Winterbourne Tea Room where traditional English tea and other items are served.

The museum is located just northeast of the Kawaiahao Church at 553 South King Street in downtown Honolulu. It is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, and English and Japanese language guided tours are available. To confirm opening, closing, and tour times contact 808-531-0481.
