Much of the historic district of Lahaina, Maui as burned in a wildfire that destroyed large parts of the lee side of the island. Every day the death toll goes up. News reports are calling it one of the worst wildfires in US history.
A large part of the population of Lahaina has evacuated to the north or south.
We visited in 1985 and stayed in Kaanapali. The Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Kaanapali survived. We walked through much of the historic district. The Lahaina, Kaanapali and Pacific Railroad, which stopped running in 2019, lost its Lahaina depot, but the equipment, stored in Kaanapali, is reported to have survived.
The postcard of the Baldwin House, built in 1835, was taken in the early 1900s. The house, serving as a museum dedicated to missionaries, burned in 2023.
