After a violent Hurricane in 1858, the old courthouse was rebuilt on the site of Lahaina Fort using stones from Hale Piula. The new courthouse housed offices for customs, the postal service, the tax collector, the governor of Maui, a magistrates' court, a courtroom, and a jury room. They remained in use until the 1970s when the Lahaina Civic Center was constructed. Restored in 1990, the courthouse now houses a museum, art galleries, a visitor center, a community meeting room, and public restrooms.

The Old Lahaina Courthouse is located at the Lahaina Banyan Court Park in historical Lahaina Town.
