Our places
The Raglan and Districts Museum is a small museum which holds the collections of a seaside town in the Waikato area of New Zealand.The history of this area is vast, and spans from early Māori civilization through to Missionary and Settler activity from the 1830s and beyond.
Learn about local disasters, experience the feeling of being in the mines from the early 1900s, or dive into Raahui Pookeka Huntly’s rich and diverse history and heritage. While we work to open the new museum in the restored train station, we’ve created the pop-up in the Huntly Civic Centre, a public access point for locals to directly interact with the stories that make up their community.
Queen's Redoubt, Pokeno, is an historic place of great importance. The New Zealand Wars mark a huge change in the history of this country. The key campaign was the struggle for the Waikato. Queen's Redoubt was the launching pad for the July 1863 British invasion, which began the Waikato War.
Papers Past ( https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers ) is an incredibly useful resource for researching people, places and many other interesting stories that happened in New Zealand in the 19th and 20th centuries.
