Kauai Museum

Located on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, a large collection of Hawaiian artifacts is available for the public to see. If you even have just a passing interest in the history of Hawaii, an afternoon at the Kauai Museum is going to be a pleasure. The collection is held in two buildings, the Albert Spencer Wilcox building (built in 1924) and the William Hyde Rice building (built in 1960.) No matter your age, you're going to get something out of the trip. And, depending on how old you are, you'll pay a different price to get in. Admission starts

at free for children under 5, $1 for children up to 12, $3 for children up to 17, $8 for senior citizens and $10 for adults. If even these prices are too high, every first Saturday of the month is "free family Saturday" with families all getting into the Kauai Museum for free.

The museum is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. On Saturdays, they open an hour later at 10 a.m. and they're closed on Sundays. This is more than enough time to get in a great look at Hawaiian culture and maybe even learn a little something. Located at 4428 Rice Street in Lihu'e, Hawaii, you can call (808) 245-6931 for more information. If you're going to be in the area, this is a place you have to stop and see, if only for a few hours. In those few hours, you're going to get a fascinating look at Hawaii's past.
