Thank you for making Museum Day 2009 such a huge success! Please check back for information on Museum Day 2010.
Until then, check out our participating museums and upcoming events on our Twitter page.
Mission Houses Museum is owned and governed by the Hawaiian Mission Children’s Society (HMCS), a private, non-profit organization and genealogical society founded in 1852 by the children of the American Protestant missionaries to Hawai'i. The Museum was established in 1920 to preserve three of the historic structures that served as the family homes and headquarters of the first Christian missionaries to Hawai'i. It is accredited by the American Association of Museums, and in 1965, the site was designated a Registered National Historic Landmark. The houses, built between 1821 and 1841 have now been restored as a museum and are furnished with original artifacts and period reproductions.
Museums and cultural venues participate in Museum Day voluntarily. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for individual museum content or participation.
