An exhibition 'From Kāinga to Village, Part 1: 1843-1920

Stories from Ōtaki’s early history about the people, events and things that shaped Ōtaki as it changed from a village to a town.

In 1843 Ngāti Raukawa were living in pā and kāinga on Ōtaki beach. Three years later they had moved a short distant inland to a site planned as on the lines of an English village. The journey to the Ōtaki of today had begun. This exhibition is about the first 84 years of that journey.
