If you’re looking for something to do over the three-day weekend, bring the whole family to Hilo’s Lyman Museum on Monday March 27 from 10am to 4:30pm and there won’t be any admission fee! It’s Manuahi Day at the museum and no reservations are needed. What a treat!
If you’ve driven past the museum and never had time to go in, this is your opportunity to explore what the museum has to offer. The Lyman Museum is the only place in Hawai‘i where guests can learn about both the natural and cultural history of the Hawaiian Islands under the same roof.
The Earth Heritage Gallery features displays on Hawai‘i’s volcanoes, the formation of the islands, natural habitats, animals and plants, land and marine shells, and rocks and minerals.
The new Island Heritage Gallery’s displays will take visitors through the human history of Hawai‘i beginning with the settlement of the first Polynesians arriving by canoe up to the current day.
Celebrate the legacy of Prince Kūhiō by learning more about Hawaiian history at the Lyman Museum. Learn more about Prince Kūhiō and his contributions to Hawai’i and Hawai’i Island HERE.
Additional parking on Monday will be available at Hilo Union School next to the museum. For more info, call (808) 935-5021 or visit www.lymanmuseum.org.
About the Lyman Museum
Less than three weeks after they married, Reverend David Lyman and his wife Sarah left New England on a ship bound for the Hawaiian Islands to share the gospel with the Hawaiian natives. After six months at sea, they landed in Hilo in 1832, grew deep roots here, and never returned home. They raised seven children here and left a legacy of resilience and growth among the island’s people. A modern museum building was built next to the original site of their first home and opened for tours in 1981.
