Stories from Ōtaki’s early history about the people, events and things that shaped Ōtaki as it changed from a village to a town.
In 1843 Ngāti Raukawa were living in pā and kāinga on Ōtaki beach. Three years later they had moved a short distant inland to a site planned as on the lines of an English village. The journey to the Ōtaki of today had begun. This exhibition is about the first 84 years of that journey.

Cost: Free
