Site of the First Inauguration in RMI

Step onto the very ground where history was made. On 1 May 1979, Iroij Amata Kabua was inaugurated as the first President of the Marshall Islands right here in this open-air park; a defining moment in the nation's path to independence. Flame trees add a vivid splash of colour to the grounds, and with the Alele Museum next door, it sits naturally alongside other nearby stops worth exploring.
