What we exist for:
Housed in the historic 1986-gifted Bank of New Zealand building, this museum sits in the heart of Waipawa—one of the nation's oldest inland towns.
Step back in time to experience the authentic daily lives of early settlers through immersive, hands-on displays. From military heritage and Taonga Māori to vintage technology and a vast photographic archive for genealogists, our diverse collections preserve the unique cultural and natural soul of Central Hawke’s Bay.
