Lahaina : Hale Pa’i

No one has rated this yet.

On the campus of Lahainaluna, the oldest high school west of the Rockies, this hillside building holds the history of the written word in Hawai’i. Until the mid-1800s, Hawaiian was a spoken language only. In order to spread the Bible’s word, Protestant missionaries used English letters to transliterate Hawaiian, and they brought a printing press with them specifically for the task. A replica of the press and the pages it printed are displayed here.
