If you're into history then this is a must-see. Ranging from artifacts from the earliest inhabitants right up to Captain Cook and the wreck of the Buffalo sailing ship, then on to more modern settler artifacts. Personally this is on my must do list for new -visitors to the area!

It's a great small museum which focuses on the two great explorers who visited us - Kupe and Captain James Cook.
