New to the Museum Shop, the first biography ever written on Edward Bailey! Entitled, Edward Bailey of Maui: Teacher &
Naturalist, Artist & Engineer, it is written
by Linda McCullough Decker, Maui author
and former Maui Historical Society trustee.
Drawing heavily on letters and journals of
the Baileys and their circle, Decker presents Edward and Caroline largely in their
own words and those of their friends and
neighbors. Detailed and vivid, Bailey’s
words draw us into the world he helped
shape, and share his
hopes and his misgivings about those
changes.
Hardcover with
Bailey’s paintings
illustrated in full
color. $34.95

Remember all the wonderful quilts blowing in the breeze last spring
at Bailey House? Last year’s quilt show was so much fun, we decided to do it again! The second annual quilt show and exhibit will
be on Saturday May 14, 2011 Local quilters from across Maui will
hang their quilts throughout the gardens and demonstrate quilting
methods to visitors. Antique
quilts from the Maui Historical
Society and private collections
will be exhibited in the Bailey
House Museum. Admission to
the Quilt Show includes admission to the museum and is $10
for adults. Children 12 and under are free.
Aloha!
We are very excited for upcoming events at the Bailey House Museum.
On May 14th we have the beautiful “A Celebration of Quilts” Quilt Show and
Exhibit. See the gardens come alive with color, talk to the quilters and view the
antique Hawaiian quilts in the museum.
On June 10th we have a special fundraiser for Maui Historical Society
organized by kapa artist Wesley Sen. In 1987, Wesley Sen, Hōkūlani Holt and
Pua Van Dorpe held kapa-making workshops and an exhibit at the Bailey
House Museum. Kumu Wes was one of the first artists to revive the art of kapa
making. He is putting together a program along with Kumu Hōkūlani Holt en`Ōhi`a `ai blooming
titled “Hina & Maui: The Story of Hawaiian Tapa Making.” Come support the
in the Bailey House
garden
Maui Historical Society while enjoying an original performance with costumes
in traditional kapa. Kumu Wes will also be holding kapa-decoration workshops
at Bailey House on June 10th and 11th. These treasured cultural practitioners are donating their
time and talents and all proceeds from the event will benefit the Maui Historical Society. For
more information, please see the insert in this newsletter or call us at 244-3326.
If it has been awhile since your last visit to Bailey House Museum, please stop by
and say hello! The gardens are so beautiful since the restoration last summer. Come and feel
the peace of the garden while learning about native plants. The accessibility of collections in
the archives has greatly improved with the new Past Perfect museum database. We want to
thank the volunteers who are helping with archival cataloging. We have also updated the archives page on the Maui Historical Society website to better assist researchers. Go to
www.mauimuseum.org to check out the new and improved website.
Looking forward to seeing you soon at Bailey House!

Focus on Historic Preservation
The Olowalu Cultural Reserve is located on 74 acres of land in Olowalu
Valley. Current ongoing projects include:
1) Adopt-A-Lo'i Program - Open to all community clubs, organizations and
families. Build, plant and maintain your own lo'i kalo. At harvest time, the
poi shop is available for you to make poi for your ohana.
2) Kanu Project - Clearing the land of non-native plants and planting crops
for sustainable living emulating the ahupua'a concept of Old Hawaii.
3) Native Hawaiian Plant Restoration - Over the past 2 years over 600
native Hawaiian plants in 65 different varieties have been planted.
4) Olowalu Trail Restoration - OCR volunteers continue ongoing trail
maintenance of the Olowalu Trail connecting West Maui to Central Maui
which was heavily used in ancient times.
5) Preservation and Management of Cultural and Archaeological sites
within the Reserve
Future goals....Build an Educational/Cultural Activities Hale, a Native
Hawaiian Charter School, and a Canoe Hale

In February, the
Maui Historical
Society received a
beautiful donation
of a rare Hawaiian
kapa from Paul
and Amy Niess of
Chico, California.
The kapa was authenticated by Pua
Van Dorpe as being over 200 years old. A portion of it is
pictured on the left with former Maui Historical Society Executive Director Roz Lightfoot who coordinated the donation. Accompanying the donation to Maui were members of
Mr. Niess’ family pictured above.
(L-R) Karin O’Kelley, Darin O’Kelley, Don Moller and
Barbara Moller.
We happily accept donations to our document, artifact and photo collections.
