This brief overview of Maui’s Baldwin Home comes courtesy of our Hawaii Destination Manager, Kathy Stafford:
Dwight Baldwin, a Christian minister, traveled to Hawaii to be a priest at Lahaina’s oldest church, Wainee Church. In 1830 Dwight Baldwin and his new bride came to the island of Maui, from Durham, Connecticut. Dr. Baldwin gave up his family’s wealth to live a more humble life on Maui.
Some of the roles that Dwight Baldwin took were as Doctor, Veterinarian, Dentist, and Priest. When the patients didn’t have enough money they would pay Dr. Baldwin with arts, furniture, and other possessions. When Dwight Baldwin came to Hawaii he came with very little furniture, all the furniture in his home were all made from resources or as gifts from patients. The minimum amount of money that the Baldwin family made in a month was $100.00. Dwight Baldwin learned to speak the Hawaiian language, and used some of the Hawaiian medicines.
The Baldwins moved into their Lahaina home in 1838, and lived there for 33 years. The walls were made out of coral, stone, and hand-hewn timbers which were 2 feet thick. The second floor wasn’t added until 1840 after they had 6 children, they did have eight but two of them died before the age 3. Since the Baldwin house was a Christian house, Mr. Baldwin believed that their doors should resemble Christianity, so the doors all had a cross on it. People say that “he was a man of natural talents,” and that he didn’t just prosper himself, but he prospered others. Dwight Baldwin helped the Hawaiians in many ways. For example, he healed the Hawaiians from their illnesses, cared for them, and respected them, and soon after he gained their respect.
