In the early 1900s, Chinese immigrants in Hawaiʻi maintained social and political ties with their ancestral home by forming the Wo Hing Society. In 1912, The Society built an attractive two-story building that still stands on Front Street in Lahaina. today, the social hall serves as museum space and a gift shop. Engraved on the calligraphy boards around the temple are characters for Wo, meaning “peace and harmony” and Hing, which means “prosperity.” Visits to Wo Hing Museum are available by timed entry. After a docent introduces the museum at the front door, guests can tour at their own pace using the available handout. The docent will also be available to answer any questions.
