                          Hale Pai, the printing 
                          house of Lahainaluna Seminary, was founded by Protestant 
                          missionaries in 1831.
                          There was no written form of the Hawaiian language 
                            when the missionaries arrived, so to spread the word 
                            of God, a missionary committee devised one. Presses 
                            in Honolulu and here at Hale Pai soon began printing 
                            textbooks and other teaching aids.
                           The print shop was restored from 1980 to 1982 by 
                            the Lahaina Restoration Foundation. The museum is 
                            open MondaySaturday.
