Russian Fort Elizabeth is a National Historic Landmark and is administered as the Russian Fort Elizabeth State Historical Park just southeast of present-day Waimea on the island of Kauaʻi in Hawaiʻi. It is located at the site of the former Fort Elizabety, the last remaining Russian fort on the Hawaiian islands, built in the early 19th century by the Russian-American Company as the result of an alliance with High Chief Kaumualiʻi. The star fort was employed by the Kingdom of Hawaii in the 19th century under the name Fort Hipo.

Story

At the end of a long day, we stopped at Russian Fort Elizabeth State Historical Park on our way to our Airbnb. It was a fun little stop albeit a bit run down with a bunch of shady people hanging out in the parking lot. There wasn't a whole lot to see, but it looks like there are plans for adding a visitor center or something in the future.
