Bailey House Museum

Maui History

Description

This old home functions as a museum showcasing items from Maui's history. The 1833 building once served various functions: as a local mission, a female seminary, and, finally as the home of sugar planter and missionary Edward Bailey, whose 19th century paintings, along with other memorabilia, are also on display inside the museum. Some of the other items you can find here include photographs, furnishings, paintings, tribal artifacts, antique surfboards, and much more. Outside, there are also beautiful surrounding gardens that showcase the area's native colorful flora and missionary-era vegetation. You'll even get a taste of what 19th century living was like, as the upstairs section of the house has been arranged and furnished as it would have been in the early 1800s.
