Fort Elisabeth
Archaeological Sites, West Side
Fodor's Review:
The ruins of this stone fort, built in 1816 by an agent of the imperial Russian government named Anton Scheffer, are reminders of the days when Scheffer tried to conquer the island for his homeland, or so one story goes. Another purports Scheffer's allegiance to King Kaumualii in his hopeful attempts to regain leadership of his island nation from the grasp of Kamehameha the Great. The crumbling walls of the fort are not particularly interesting, but the informative placards are.
