The Lahaina Restoration Foundation is a non-profit organization in Lahaina, Hawaii, dedicated to preserving and restoring the historic buildings and cultural heritage of the town. One of the Foundation's most significant restoration projects is the Wo Hing Temple Museum Front, located on Front Street.

The Wo Hing Temple Museum Front was originally built in 1912 as a Chinese social hall and temple for the town's immigrant population. The building fell into disrepair over the years, but the Lahaina Restoration Foundation purchased and restored it in the early 2000s, opening it as a museum in 2008.

Today, the Wo Hing Temple Museum Front is a beautifully restored building that showcases the rich history and culture of the Chinese community in Lahaina. Visitors can explore the temple's prayer room, social hall, and kitchen, as well as exhibits on the history of Chinese immigration to Hawaii and the cultural contributions of the Chinese community to Lahaina.

The museum is open daily and offers guided tours, educational programs, and cultural events throughout the year. The Lahaina Restoration Foundation's dedication to preserving and sharing the history of Lahaina through projects like the Wo Hing Temple Museum Front helps to ensure that the town's unique cultural heritage remains alive and vibrant for generations to come.
