Russian Fort Elizabeth State Historical Park is a National Historic Landmark located in Waimea, HI. Built in 1817, it is the last remaining Russian fort on the Hawaiian islands and showcases a unique blend of Hawaiian and Russian architectural styles.
The park, which was acquired by the State of Hawai'i in 1972, aims to preserve and educate visitors about the historical significance of the fort and its alliance with High Chief Kaumuali'i. With self-guided walks available, the park offers a glimpse into the early 19th-century period when foreign powers sought political influence and recognized the strategic importance of Hawai'i as a trade port.
