• King Kamehameha Statue - Kamehameha certainly lived up to his dramatic beginnings. His peers described him as a formidable warrior who “moved in an aura of violence.” In the 1700s, many chiefs fought for dominance over the Hawaiian Islands.

• Kawaiahaʻo Church - This is Kawaiahaʻo Church, once the national church of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

• Hawaiian Mission Houses Historic Site and Archives - This museum displays artifacts from Hawaii’s missionary era.

• Ali’iolani Hale - Initially, Kamehameha V constructed Ali’iolani Hale as a palace for Hawaiian royalty. However, King Kalakaua chose to transform it into government offices.

• Honolulu Hale (City Hall) - King Kalakaua returned from his global tour at the end of 1881. Hawaiians adorned the entire city and hung a grand “Welcome Home” banner across Honolulu Harbor. While Hawaiians celebrated Kalakaua’s return, others conspired against him…

Remember the Reform Party? This predominantly American political party gradually gained control of Hawaiian politics following the 1875 Reciprocity Treaty.

• Patsy Takemoto Mink Statue and Memorial - This statue commemorates a more recent figure in Hawaiian history, Representative Patsy Takemoto Mink.

Patsy Takemoto was a third-generation Japanese-American who was raised in Hawaii.

• Sky Gate by Isamu Noguchi - When observing Sky Gate, what do you perceive? Just a collection of curvy black tubes? Perhaps a simple spider web? A three-legged creature? Noguchi himself described Sky Gate as “an evocation to the skies of Hawaii.”

• Hawaii State Capitol - Before the Capitol Building was constructed, Hawaiians used the ‘Iolani Palace as their government seat. You’ll soon see the palace.

• Eternal Flame Memorial - This memorial honors the men and women who perished in the December 7th, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor—“a date which will live in infamy,” as President Franklin Roosevelt stated.

• Washington Place - Notice the two-story mansion on our right, set back from the road? That’s Washington Place, the former residence of Queen Liliʻuokalani!

• Iolani Barracks - We are standing before the Iolani Barracks. Before Dole and the Annexation Club executed their coup against Queen Liliʻuokalani, the Barracks housed the Queen’s Royal Guard.

• Iolani Palace - Before us stands Iolani Palace, established in 1879. This is the only royal palace in the United States!

• Queen Liliuokalani Statue - As the 1900s progressed, Liliʻuokalani gradually withdrew from public life. She resided full-time in her home at Washington Place, where Native Hawaiians frequently visited her. To them, she remained their Queen. In return, Liliʻuokalani never ceased loving her people. In her memoir, she wrote:

“It is for them that I would give the last drop of my blood; it is for them that I would spend, nay, am spending, everything belonging to me.”
