Ala Hele Mo‘olelo o Lahaina: Lahaina Historic Trail

Did you know that Lahaina has 65 significant sites, museums and buildings that represent the history and culture of the town over a period of more than 500 years? It’s easy to locate them and learn their stories by viewing the colorful map- brochure and large maps installed in kiosks throughout Lahaina.

Developed by the Lahaina Interpretive Planning Team (Friends of Moku‘ula, Lahaina Restoration Foundation and Lahaina Town Action Committee), the Lahaina Historic Trail is where Lahaina’s history and culture come alive. Look for the fold-out brochure in Lahaina Visitor Center and at Lahaina Restoration Foundation museum locations.
