Review & FAQ:

The Lyman House Memorial Museum, also known as the Lyman Museum, is a natural history museum that documents the history of the region through an extensive collection of artifacts and items that document the natural and cultural history of the islands. Established in 1931, the museum was initially based in the 1838 Lyman family mission house before moving to a modern building next to the house in the 1960s. The original Lyman family mission house is now part of the museum as an exhibit of the oldest surviving wood-framed building on the island. Collections in the museum include ancient Hawaiian tools and weapons, feather capes and leis that used to adorn Hawaiian royalty, cookware, and games. There is also an interesting mineral and seashell collection and a tour through a simulated lava tube.
