Tourist attraction Local history museum

👍👍 Love that it's free! Nicely lain-out and a great collection of things and information signs to represent the town. Only wish there was something else for kids to do... like if they were able to try out the butter churner or sit at the school desk, etc. People often mention history,

    If you like to know about NZ's history. This is a great museum to be able to visualize what you learned before or even starting to learn about NZ. They also have the WW2 times in the museum if you're the type to look into those.

    My Mum is a volunteer here so I'm always visiting ..... They specialize in local military history as well as all other local historical matters ..... If you need information on anything Papakura related including past residents and identities just pop in and see them
