The Lyman Mission House is the oldest standing wood structure on the Island of Hawai`i and one of the oldest in the State!

About

The house is on the State and National Registers of Historic Places and is an important artifact of the Lyman Museum.

Your docent-guided tour of the Mission House will convey a sense of what it meant to live 5000 miles and a 6-month journey away from your original home and family, in a house without electricity or running water. You will learn what it was like to settle in a location with a decidedly different language and culture from your own, while being driven by a sense of duty to bring Christianity and Western-style education to the Hawaiian people.
