Aloha,

In the past I had promised to do this once I got enough material to do it. It was difficult to find good quality material because technology wasnt all that advanced in the past. Some of the film i have is in great shape and some not so great. Please remember technology wasnt all that great so colors may not be so great.

Often you hear residents of Hawai'i complain about tourists or newcomers comming to Maui, but not everything is bad. One positive is tourists and newcomers are really great at recording history. Most of the film on this tread is recorded by tourists vacationing on Maui. Portions of the films don't necessary show Maui in the past, or just shows tourist traps. Feel free to skip forward.

You might be asking why is this important? What does this have to do with the present? As we take our trip back in the past to recent present, pay attention to the landscape and backgrounds, colors. Maui is a gorgeous place. This is going to be a long trip, so you may want to take it in portions.

Also my suggestion it to watch the videos full screen. The message is simple, lets keep Maui gorgeous and preserve the aina.

Further another plus is watching these is relaxing.

Aloha,

I found this the other day. Was debating if i should post it here, because even if it not about recent past it is a good video about the history of maui north shore and has some good pictures of maui past and present.

Aloha,

The other day i found alot of historical stuff on areas and cities of Maui. Some great quality some not so good. I thought historical stuff would also bring an interesting view of the areas you live at or want to move too. Also feel free to post pictures, videos or etc on history of maui upto 1990s. Mahalo hope you enjoy.

We will start with Lahaina, but eventual i will get other areas.

Mahalo, for the very interesting videos. My wife and I love Maui and are working hard to prepare to move there when I retire in two years. It's great to be able to see the history of Maui.

Regards,
Mike W.

Aloha

Wow this was difficult but i found somethings.

Lets look a Makawao. Makawao was known as a Paniolo town, with a rich history. It was hard to find anything from the past but here you go enjoy.

This is kinda a human interest piece.


Here is a link to the above museum. With some old photos.
