Lahaina Heritage Museum
The Lahaina Heritage Museum was a heritage museum and history museum located in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii. It was a part of the Old Lahaina Courthouse on the second floor, having opened in 2004, years after the courthouse was restored yet again in 1990.
In August 2023, the museum was destroyed by the 2023 Hawaii wildfires, as well as the entirety of the Old Lahaina Courthouse. Documents were saved, as they were digitized online prior to the wildfire, protecting them for future generations. Artifacts and other objects were likely destroyed in the blaze.
