From warriors to royalty, the Hawaiian Islands are home to some of the nation’s most fascinating history — and the historic homes to prove it. You will certainly find awe-inspiring mansions with unbelievable views and modest homes alike throughout the Aloha State, and visiting these historic homes is one of the best ways to learn more about Hawaii’s unique history and culture. Even better than a simple visit, though? Spending a night or two in one of Hawaii’s most beautiful historic homes. 

Built in 1899, this authentic Victorian home was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the 1960s due to its historic significance and its architecture.
