If you're in the area, this historic site is definitely worth the stop. Free, educational , and powerful! You'll be glad you visited.

Learn some Hawaiian history and culture at this ancient temple where battles were waged and sacrifices were offered. National park rangers provide insight and signs provide self-guided options.

Ricky Nance

Wow, a wonderful and sacred piece of not only Hawaiian history , but United States history as a whole
