OUTDOOR EXHIBITS
|
| In the Museum's courtyard are a number of old buildings from the early 1900s. There is a four-man army hut built of native timbers and used by both New Zealand and American Forces stationed in Warkworth in WW2. The name of one of the American occupants can still be seen on the wall where he wrote it. There is a display of memorabilia inside the hut. |

 Bushman's hut |
| Other old buildings from around the district, for example a bushman's hut from the gum digging days, are on display. There is the tiny Post Office, a set of stocks, and the old Warkworth Jail. Old machinery - tractors, plows, pumps, and a "Matakana Punt" are also displayed outside the main building. In the Big Shed there are displays of wagons, harnesses, and chaff cutters, farm implements - everything that was needed "Down on the Farm" in the early 1900s. |

There are many items of interest to be found as you wander around the Museum's main building. There is easy access to all areas. We hope you will enjoy reliving the past and marvelling at the energy and endeavour of our pioneer families. |
