Introduction

The historic Queen Emma Summer Palace is situated in lush Nu‘uanu Valley five miles from Downtown Honolulu and ten miles from Waikiki. This New England-style house was constructed on the East Coast, transported around Cape Horn by ship, and assembled in its present location in 1848 for Queen Emma, consort of King Kamehameha IV. The verdant garden of tropical flowers and trees, both native and introduced, are typical of the 19th century era when Queen Emma used the home as her getaway retreat. On display are artifacts, furnishing and personal items of the royal families of Hawai‘i.
