| Welcome to the Warkworth Museum. Only 50 minutes drive north from Auckland, look out for our museum signs just south of Warkworth. Follow the directions and in two minutes you will be entering the gates of the lovely Parry Kauri Park. Continue down Tudor Collins Drive to the Warkworth & District Museum. |  The Museum
|
| In our modern museum we are proud of the constantly developing and changing displays that give an insight into the lives and pursuits of our pioneering families. From the past to the present, we have a magnificent display of colonial history which is beautifully presented. There are numerous display rooms on the ground floor. |
 Show cases |
On the first floor there are re-created rooms of the 1920's - a corner store, kitchen, bedrooms, sitting room,
carpentry and blacksmith workshops and a washhouse showing the furniture, clothing, tools, of yesteryear, and
throughout the museum there are clothing displays from 1890 to the 1950s.
The museum has wheelchair access to all levels.

Features of the museum setting are the magnificent McKinney and Simpson kauri trees standing in full view of the carpark.
The largest trees of their kind to be seen on the east coast of New Zealand, these giants are a reminder of the days
long gone when the kauri was known as "king of the forest".
There are many outdoor displays (see the Outdoor Exhibits page for more details) and there are bush walks through the native bush in Parry Kauri Park. |
