3. Lyman Mission House and Museum

HILO.   Get a taste of Hawaiian life as it was 150 years ago at one of the most authentic Big Island museums in the area. Re-opened as a state and national historic place in the 1930s, age-old artifacts, art and specimens of natural history are all kept in the former house of David and Sarah Lyman, early 19th century missionaries. For architecture buffs, the house's imported British tin roof and the New England-style design are big draws, along with the local koa wood that makes up the frame of this Hilo museum.   (© 10Best)
