honolulu house

Learn history of the area and house. Beautiful artwork and furnishings. It is fascinating. right across street from the Way Inn, in downtown area.

The Honolulu House in Marshall is one of the most unique old houses you will ever see. The museum is lovingly cared for by the Historical Society and there are many great stories to hear about the house. We go through it every year as part of the Historic Homes Tour and it never gets old.

The story of the builder of the home was very interesting as were the murals and antiques in all the rooms.

This eccentric museum/house is a delightful and entertaining place to visit while in the Marshall area. The tour was well worth the cost. Even our youngest teen was impressed.

A truly beautiful home inside and out. It was a very interesting tour that lasted about 45-50 minutes. Standard Oil wanted to raze this home and build a gas station. Good thing they didn't. The historical society is still working on this gem.

A real beauty inside and out. Suggestion donation $5.00.It should be 3X more. Two Ladies guide the tour and they are wonderful.

The Honolulu House is at the fountain circleon the west end of Marshall. It is home to the local historic society and is a carefully maintained historical building and museum.It was built by a man who returned to Marshall after serving as the ambassador to the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii). It is well worth a visit.

This house is worth a visit if you enjoy this type of thing. I had read up on it ahead of time but really enjoyed the guided tour and the added information. Very unique place.

We visited the Honolulu House while going on the Marshall MI Historic tour. The docents were charming, had varied storied and not always simply sticking to the script. The house is beautiful, the history is amazing, and the entertainment on the porch set a beautiful tone for the event. Worth visiting anytime, tour or no tour.

We enjoyed our personalized tour of the home with a docent that was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and home. The home is amazing painted ceilings and has been restored as much as possible to its glory days. The town of Marshall is lovely and we enjoyed walking in the area.

Many of the magnificent mansions in Marshal, Michigan are mostly Victorian or Greek Revival. The Honolulu House is totally different and unexpected considering the severity of Michigan winters. The restoration is nearly completed except or a small room off the parlor and the dining room. It has 10 foot doors and 14 foot ceilings ( I think, maybe 12) The designs on the ceilings and coves are breath taking. We were told there are well over 100 colors used for the ceilings and restoration is slow and painstakingly difficult to complete. One of the first things I noticed is, where the bedrooms? In Hawaiian homes, they are not part of the house but rather separate rooms to the rear of the house. The bedrooms had to be removed. This is a great find and highly recommend it for your adventure. Entrance fee is $5.00. Oh yea, the ceilings are very high but watch your head as you pass under the iron spiral stair case to no where. It's only about 5 feet off the floor on one side of the hallway.

of all the old Victorian houses and other historic homes and places in the lovely town of Marshall Michigan, not far from Ann Arbor and Detroit. Marshall is also famous for its Underground Railroad protection of an escaped slave in Civil War times.If in the area, be sure to stop here.

This place is currently being restored, but still worth a look. The tour guide was excellent. She knew everything about the place down to the light fixtures...which are also beautiful. Pictures were not allowed inside but the impression the art left will stay with me. I loved the stairway that leads to nothing. The normal price is $5, but because of the restoration, they are not charging. Donations are accepted.

This place was absolutely beautiful. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome the whole time we were there. I would definitely recommend a visit. You can't go wrong with the five dollar admission. Currently, because of the restoration going on, they are giving tours for donations.

Our whole family enjoyed our stop here. The guide was knowledgable and told interesting stories. Our kids (15, 13, 11, & 9) all agreed they enjoyed it a lot, even though the house was in disorder because of restoration.
