Bailey House Museum

The Bailey House Museum was once a missionary home in Maui, Hawaii. It was built in 1833 by Edward and Caroline Bailey. It was also a part of the royal compound for King Kahekili, which was the last king of Maui. The buildings reflect the culture and lifestyle of the Hawaiian people. The house also represents change and growth. The house has become a museum run by the Historical Society. Today guests can see a variety of displays based on missionaries arriving in Hawaii as well as Hawaiian culture. Some of the displays are 19th century paintings of what Maui was like.

Visitors can stop by the Museum Shop, which offers contemporary and traditional crafted items as well as books on Hawaiian culture. To arrive at the museum visitors need to take Kaahumanu or Highway 32 west from Kahului to Wailuku. The road eventually becomes Highway 320. Just off the highway past Kehalani Parkway and before Vineyard Road is the road to Bailey House Museum. The Museum operating hours are 10am to 4pm Monday through Saturday. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors, and $1 for children 7 to 12. There is a restaurant onsite, and every Tuesday through Friday there is traditional Hawaiian music.
