Wainuiomata Historical Museum

The Wainuiomata Historical Society was established in 1977 and in March 1987 the Wellington Education Board gave the use of the ‘old school’ to the Society. The Museum was opened on 30 September 1989 by Harry Martin, the first and only Mayor of Wainuiomata.

Wainuiomata Historical Museum aims to encourage the study of history and to foster and maintain a public appreciation of local places and matters of historical interest. It does this by providing for the permanent preservation of a wide variety of objects and records and allowing access to these by the public.
