The Maui Historical Society was founded on November 23, 1951 and chartered on May 1, 1956. Our primary objectives were simple; collect, study, preserve, and to instill a sense of interest in Maui’s History, and folklore. Our mission today has changed very little since then. The mission of the Maui Historical Society shall collect, preserve, study, interpret, and, share the history and heritage of Maui. As caretakers of the land, artifacts, photographs, and, documents entrusted to our care. It is our responsibility to ensure that the cultural roots and history that define our community will continue to be here for future generations. (Source: Organization Website)
