From 1844 until 1914, the palace was used
by Hawaiian royalty as a vacation home. The house was remodeled
and enlarged several times. In 1925 the Territory of Hawaii
purchased the house to be operated by the Daughters of Hawaii
as a museum. Today, most of the furniture and fixtures have
been restored from the original monarchy and numerous artifacts
and memorbilia are on display here.
