Howick Historical Village

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Howick Historical Village is a recreation of a New Zealand colonial village using houses and cottages saved from the surrounding area of Howick, New Zealand.

Step back in time and experience the past at the Howick Historical Village. Set in over five acres, this award winning ‘living museum’ presents life in a Fencible village during the early European settlement of Auckland. The Village has one of the most extensive collections of early colonial buildings in New Zealand including raupo cottages, schools, Fencible cottages, a forge and general store. Heritage gardens are well established and complement the buildings within the Village.

A costumed guide is on hand to welcome visitors and interpret how the Fencibles lived and worked. Alternatively, visitors can stroll around the Village on their own and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of this unique attraction.

Live Days!

Special ‘Live Days’ are held on the third Sunday of every month (except December) and the Village church is available for weddings and naming ceremonies. Educational services are also available and school groups are welcome for curriculum-based programmes.
