Junats has one of the best little museums in NZ located right here at Te Kauri Lodge.
Our museum is brainchild of our very own historian/archaeologist/cave explorer/naturalist Chris Templer, and was built by Chris along with a dedicated team of Junat volunteers.
The museum features a splendid array of displays including...
- Fossils from the Kawhia area and beyond
- The local kauri industry
- Local geology
- History of the Kawhia area
- Early Maori settlement
- Local Maori chief Te Rauparaha and the musket wars
- European settlement
- Sailing ships
- History of the Junats club
- Many other fascination collections and things to learn about
This is yet another reason to come and visit Te Kauri Lodge.
Definitely not to be missed!
