The Wiichen Men's Meetinghouse is a historic building site in Peniesene on Moen Island in Chuuk State of the Federated States of Micronesia. The site, deemed archaeologically significant due to its place in Chuukese folklore, includes a pre-contact period petroglyph panel and swimming basin. Local history claims that this was the meeting place of six brothers who became the first chieftains of Chuuk.[2]
The site was added to the United States National Register of Historic Places in 1976,[1] when the region was part of the US-administered Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands.[2]
