If you are looking to be taken back to an era where modern machinery and technology wasn't a thing. To where people thought about how to get there next meal vs how to find a place to charge their phones, then you want to come here. Situated on a single lane road, in the middle of hill, this beautiful house will take your breath and wonders away. If you are coming off of S High st, you hang a left onto main and follow it up passed the church. You will see it located to the left. Once inside you are greeted by a friendly young gentleman. He will explain to you about the house and the different rooms that are located inside of it. He suggests turning around and starting inside the gallery and following it through to a room with more artifacts including shells, tools and jewelery. Once you are done there you can head upstairs to watch a historical video about Maui and the people of Maui. While also checking out some of the other things it has to offer. You continue your way up the stairs and reach a bed room. The bed inside the room is a beautiful framed bed. It has a stunning pink and white blanket on top of it. The thought of it being woven in those days is truly amazing. There is a dresser and a few other things you may want to look at. You will be really taken back. Upon leaving the Bailey house you can go check out the canoe and surfboards located towards the side of the house. Keep following it to the left and you will see a very intriguing ledge with some rocks nestled in the back. Beautiful flowers cover the property as well as a few nice photo opportunities. This was one of the coolest things we did on the island yet. Myself, I'm a history geek. So being able to step into a house that was made brick by brick, board by board is truly breathtaking. If you are looking for a truly unique place in Maui to visit, or a quiet romantic day with your partner. This is really a spot to go. Ps. Make sure you get there relatively early. It get busy, fast.

Great place to learn about some Hawaiian history, see some cool artifacts and see some beautiful paintings done by Edward Bailey! The museum is small and well preserved, there are educational videos as well as staff who are happy to chat about the history of the building of you have any questions! The Maui Historical Society has done a great job of sharing this history with us and this place is certainly worth a stop! Don't forget to explore the property the house sits on, there's lots to see!

Honestly I was rather disappointed by this 'museum', perhaps the other reviews led me to expect too much. It's 3 or 4 rooms containing a mish-mash of unexceptional exhibits, most of which don't date back nearly as far as would be expected of an 1830s era property. In fact very little is told about the history of the home itself, which over on Wikipedia sounds quite fascinating. Really hate being critical as their hearts are in the right place, but their museum could be worlds better.

Our Guide was very knowledgable about the Bailey House unfortunately our Tour got Hijacked by a know it all visitor that disrecpected our tour guides knowledge and Political veiw. I took my family and did a self guided tour and I hope this Post gets to the right people to inform visitors that there is a place and time for political talk but not in a group tour. RESPECT THE PEOPLE WHO A VOLUNTEERING THEIR TIME AT THESE PLACES AND OTHER PEOPLE AROUND YOU.
