One of several charming features of Lahaina on the west coast of Maui is that so many of their old buildings have either been preserved as museums or been renovated as a thriving business for tourists. The two-story Lahaina Inn is a good example. It was built in 1938 for the Maui Trading Company which was a general merchandise store. It later became a hotel but most of it except for this façade was destroyed in a fire during the 1960s. From 1986 through 1989, it was lovely restored to reflect its historic past. It is also filled with antiques that give it a special quaintness.
