Bailey House Museum

Missionary and sugar planter Edward Bailey's 1833 home -- an architectural hybrid of stones laid by Hawaiian craftsmen and timbers joined in a display of Yankee ingenuity -- is a treasure trove of Hawaiiana. Inside, you'll find an eclectic collection, from precontact artifacts like scary temple images, dog-tooth necklaces, and a rare lei made of tree-snail shells to latter-day relics like Duke Kahanamoku's 1919 redwood surfboard and a koa-wood table given to Pres. Ulysses S. Grant, who had to refuse it because he couldn't accept gifts from foreign countries. There's also a gallery devoted to a few of Bailey's landscapes, painted from 1866 to 1896, which capture on canvas a Maui we can only imagine today.

2375-A Main St.Phone: 808/244-3326.Open: Mon-Sat 10am-4pm.Admission $4 adults, $3.50 seniors, $1 children 7-12, free for children 6 and under.
