- A bit about
Howick Historical Village is an open air museum with 30 heritage buildings furnished with decor and displays highlighting the fencible period of 1840-1880. Costumed villagers are present on Live Days (every third Sunday of the month) and engage in Victorian crafts and pastimes.
Museum staff care for the artefacts which have been donated by the community and range from fabulous Victorian clothing, to military campaign desks with a focus on authentic domestic items. An archive, library and art collection can be researched by appointment. www.fencible.org.nz
Heritage gardens, chickens and rabbits make the village an beautiful relaxing family outing.- Big Idea
Living History - our aim is to bring the past back to life right in front of you, we cook over open fires with authentic colonial recipes, costumed characters sit at kitchen tables and show visitors their darning, a Grandmother finishes her rag rug,the Gardener weeds his kumara patch and a soldiers wife draws water up from the well.
