Baldwin's House is the oldest house on the island of Maidi, and it is the iconic building of the long -established Laheine Center.In the initial four rooms, the single-layer structure was built between Revress EPHRAIM Spaulting in 1834-1835 and was called the "Missionary Courtyard" at the time.From this area, you can directly see the anchor where the Lahea Pier and the whaling boat are moored.

When Rev. EPHRAIM Spaulting was born in 1836 and returned to Massachusetts, a medical missionary Rev. Dwatt Baldwin and his family moved to this house, and the legend of the Maoi Island Pioneer began.

In 1849, the entire second floor was completed, which is the structure that is now seen.The house is facing the prevalence of the ocean. There is a large window in front of it, consisting of 24 -inch thick walls and high ceiling to keep the room cool.

The Baldwin family lived a busy and vibrant life in Laheine. They opened the door to the tired travelers and captains and let them spend the night here.They often receive members of the Hawaii royal family and visiting consuls, which have always been a bustling activity center.

Laheine banyan tree: how does it form

On the court square in the center of Laheine, the most striking huge banyan tree is dominant.Its Zhou length is one quarter of miles. The limbs like octopus stretch outward, spreading a huge network composed of branches, leaves and gas roots to the surrounding streets and buildings.It is unusual and almost surreal. It looks more like a magical prop in Tim Burton's movie, not an organic body in real life.How did this "giant" take root in the small port of Laheine?The story is like this:

This tree was planted on the first palace site of Kamihamehaha in 1873.It is now more than 60 feet high. In addition to the huge primitive trunk, there are 46 major trunks, nearly two -thirds of the shade of the tree.The Maoyi County Shushu Teacher Committee carefully maintains the health and shape of this majestic tree.It is the largest banyan tree in the United States.In recent years, the court square has been renamed "Banyan Park" to show commemoration.The Laheine Repair Foundation is responsible for managing the park's venue.
