Waiola (which means "Water of Life") Church and the Waiola (or Waine'e) Graveyard next to it figure heavily into Maui's history. Many important figures from the early days of Hawaiian colonization are buried here, the famous next to the unknown, and perhaps more importantly, the Hawaiian next to the Haole.
Waiola Church was first dedicated in 1823, as Waine’e Church. Just three years later in 1826, the first church was blown down by wind and replaced by stone and wood. The church was destroyed by fire in 1894. A new church building was built, a gift from Henry P. Baldwin, and that lasted another 50 years until it was partially destroyed by fire again. It was restored and re-dedicated only to be completely destroyed by a Kaua’ula wind three years later. The Church finally changed its name from Waine’e Church, to Waiola Church in 1954, and has been here for the last 54 years. .
In 1978 the Hawaii State Government pledged and committed itself to preserve, study, and educate others on the Hawaiian culture, history, and language.
Be stealthy and watch for muggles. Bring a writing implement and rehide cache well. While you are searching, do NOT attempt to move objects that are not movable and do not destroy any property. Ue your eyes more than your hands to discover where the cache is hidden.
