Bailey House Museum Description

Bailey House Museum, the colonial-style house, built of lava rock and wood by missionaries in 1833 and added to in the 1850s, is now a museum run by the Maui Historical Society. It features Hawaiian culture and crafts as well as the artifacts of the New Englanders who came out to teach and convert the Sandwich Islanders.

The Hawaiian room displays Kapa bedding and clothing made from pounded tree bark, carved wooden bowls, weapons, fishing gear, and other items of daily life. Upstairs are samples of Western furniture made of elegant Koa wood. There is also a collection of early paintings of Maui.

Under cover in the gardens is a fishing outrigger which is rare in that it is made of a single Koa log
