Built in 1833, the Bailey House is now a museum showcasing Hawaiian culture, artifacts, paintings, and furnishings from nineteenth-century Maui.
Located in historic Wailuku Maui, Hawaii, built on the site of the Royal compound of Kahekili, last ruling chief of Maui, the house served as the Mission station for the Wailuku Female Seminary for Girls until 1847, and occupied by Edward Bailey and his family until 1888. The museum features Hawaiian artifacts, missionary-era furnishings, and paintings by Edward Bailey. On the grounds are gardens with Native Hawaiian and missionary-era plants and a gift shop of locally-made crafts.
Museums and cultural venues participate in Museum Day voluntarily. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for individual museum content or participation.
