American Protestant missionaries from the ABCFM arrived in the Hawaiian Islands in 1820, setting up stations on Hawaiʻi, Oʻahu and Kauaʻi.{{sfn|Kuykendall|1965|pages=100–104}} However, the first mission station on [[Maui]] was not established until 1823 by Reverend Charles Stewart and [[William Richards (missionary)|William Richards]]. The two men and their family accompanied Queen [[Keōpūolani]], the wife of Kamehameha I, and her daughter Princess [[Nāhiʻenaʻena]] from Oʻahu to Lahaina. They were tasked with instructing the queen about [[Christianity]], to which Keōpūolani converted on her deathbed. The missionaries erected a temporary church made of wooden poles and a thatched roof.{{sfn|Williams|2013|pages=122–129}}<ref name="Apple1973">{{cite web |url= https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/NHLS/66000302_text |title= Lahaina Historic District National Historical Landmark update |author= Russell A.
