About

The “Punchbowl” was formed about or less than 100,000 years ago during the secondary volcanic activity in Honolulu. It is given it’s Hawaiian name “Puowaina”, which translates to “Hill of Sacrifice”. Hawaiians used the Punchbowl as an altar, offering human sacrifices to pagan gods. Congress approved the funding and construction began in February 1948 and opened to the public on July 1949. Around five million visitors march to the cemetery each year to pay their respects and to enjoy the scenic view from the Punchbowl.
