ʻIolani Palace
National Historic Landmark · Honolulu, Hawaii
The royal residence of the rulers of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi, from Kamehameha III of the Kamehameha Dynasty in 1845 to Queen Liliʻuokalani of the Kalākaua Dynasty in 1893. It is the only royal palace on United States soil. After the monarchy was overthrown in 1893 the building served as the capitol of the Provisional Government, the Republic, the Territory and then the State of Hawaiʻi until 1969; it was restored and opened to the public as a museum in 1978. The queen was later imprisoned in an upstairs room of her own palace.
