Action adventure videos Ph: 0800 485 584
This award-winning museum tells a fascinating story of the pioneering days through the use of kauri timber and kauri gum. Settlers first came to Matakohe and nearby Paparoa and Maungaturoto in 1862. This museum was established to celebrate their centennial and to pay tribute to those early pioneers.

There are many exceptional displays and dedicated galleries to admire. You can expect to see a magnificent collection of antique kauri furniture. There is restored machinery including NZ's earliest tractor, a 1929 Cat 60 and a turning Steam Sawmill.
