There
are 31 official sites in Lahaina Town that comprise the historic
tour created by The Lahaina Restoration Foundation and County
of Maui Historic Commission. Free pamphlets describing the
tour are available at many shops in Lahaina. The brochure
includes a map and estimated time to visit the sites on a short
and long walking tour.
Another excellent
free publication is the Lahaina Historical Guide from
Honolulu Publishing Company, Ltd. Most of the sites are
described in more detail in this booklet, so these descriptions
are used in the pages that follow, shown in bold face to
distinguish from other content that Aunty Kat has added, such
as links to more information relating to the site and photos that
were taken on our recent tour to bring the history alive.
Mahalo (thank
you) to HonPub for granting permission to use this material online
at the Hawaii School Reports Website. In addition to the
Lahaina Historical Guide, which can be found at
many business establishments and resorts on the Island of Maui,
HonPub also publishes Drive
Guides for each island (free from all car rental companies)
and Spirit
of Aloha, the in-flight magazine for Aloha
Airlines.
Each site
on the tour is on a separate page so you can click on the sites
in order (each one has a link to the next one) or select a site
from the index in the left column or one of the thumbnail photos
in the right column. Click on the photos on each site page
to see a larger picture.
The
first stop is: The Masters Reading Room.
