Pā’ula’ula State Historical Park (Russian Fort Elizabeth)

Pā’ula’ula State Historical Park, located where the Waimea River meets the Pacific Ocean on Kauai, preserves the remnants of the last Russian fort in Hawaii, constructed in 1817 by the Russian-American Company. The park’s red stone walls, a blend of Russian and traditional Hawaiian architectural styles, offer a unique glimpse into the island’s history. Visitors can walk along these historic walls, enjoying panoramic ocean views and imagining the fort’s past significance.
