The Mission House complex. Hiram Bingham and the rest of his company including a farmer, printer, two teachers, wives and children were given land to build thatched houses for their stay in Hawaii. Years later, King Kamehameha III allowed the missionaries to build more permanent, western style houses.


Included in what is now a Mission House Museum is the printing house where Americans and Hawaiians created the Hawaiian alphabet in order to produce books and other printed items.
