Lahaina Heritage Museum

Lahaina Heritage Museum, on the second floor of the Old Lahaina Courthouse on Maui, opened in 2004 as a local history museum devoted to the town’s past. Its exhibits followed Lahaina from pre-contact Hawaiian life through the missionary, whaling, plantation, and monarchy eras, using artifacts, photographs, documents, and multimedia displays. Notable items included a Kingdom of Hawaii flag from 1898, early Hawaiian sling stones, spears, harpoons, stone tools, historic photographs, and a large relief map of Maui. Destroyed in the Hawaii wildfires in August 2023 along with the courthouse, it lost many likely irreplaceable artifacts, though digitized records survived online.
