The earliest Chinese to arrive on Maui came on trading or whaling ships. It was these men who helped to build tunnels and irrigation systems through the mountains. Chinese immigrants formed the Wo Hing Society to nurture the ex-pat community, providing social contacts, support in times of crisis, and housing for retired workers. It also supported the revolutionary activities of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, renowned as the Father of Modern China, and first provisional president of the Republic of China. In addition, the cookhouse is used as a showcase of this time as well as a small theater, screening films of life in the islands that were made by Thomas Edison between 1898-1906. Admission Fee of $7 allows entry to both Wo Hing and Baldwin Home Museums. Senior, Military, and Children discounts available. Purchase a "Passport to the Past" for $10 and get admission to four of Maui’s popular museums! (Baldwin Home, Wo Hing, A&B Sugar and Bailey House)
