About

Park entrance fees, hours, and ranger-issued closures change without notice and may be out of date here.

Honouliuli National Historic Site is the location of what was once the largest and longest-run prisoner of war camp and incarceration site in the Hawaiian Islands during WWII. At its peak, it held 4,000 prisoners of war of Japanese, Korean, Okinawan, Italian, and Filipino descent as well as 400 American civilians, primarily of Japanese descent with some Europeans. Our mission is to share the many stories of injustice born of this complex time period in American history.

From Wikipedia

Honouliuli National Historic Site is near Waipahu on the island of Oahu, in the U.S. state of Hawaii; it is the location of the Honouliuli Internment Camp, Hawaiʻi's largest and longest-operating Japanese internment camp, which opened in 1943 and closed in 1946. The site was designated a national monument on February 24, 2015, by President Barack Obama. The John D. Dingell Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act, signed March 12, 2019, redesignated it as Honouliui National Historic Site.
