There is so much that canโt be replaced with the loss of Lahaina. Obviously the people, the homes, the livelihoods. West Maui is forever changed. But what is uniquely lost is the history of Lahaina.
Lahaina was full of buildings dating back to the 1800s. It was the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii from 1802-1845. It was home to some of the first Christian missionaries on the Hawaiian Islands and Lahaina was full of beautiful old churches and missions. Then Lahaina became the center of the global whaling industry creating this beautiful kaleidoscope of ships, a harbor, bars, restaurants and churches. William Owen Smith planted what would become Americas largest Banyan Tree in 1873. And this was all stitched together by one of the coolest streets in America, Front Street.
Texas is home. West Maui is my second home since the 70s. I love this place. Incredible loss.
