Dargaville Museum

Such an awesome day out, will be back

I love this museum - A local gem. Put your hand in your pocket and pay the $15 entry fee for adults - under 5s are free. The masts of the Rainbow Warrior are outside, there is a fantastic view over the Northern Wairoa and Dargaville and places to picnic. Inside the history of the area is well covered - step back in time and see incredible artifacts from waka and Pou, to a Piano Accordion collection and every thing you ever needed to know about gumdigging - the personalised spade of the diggers are very moving - and there is also a Maritime hall dedicated to shipping , ship wrecks and other marine history.

Awesome museum and well worth the visit when passing through

We took our visitors here, today. What an interesting museum! Situated in Harding Park, high on a hill, it gives you an amazing view over the Northern Wairoa River. Absolutely beautiful scenery to have a few selfies taken in. The exhibits cover local, maritime and gold rush history. Varied entry fees to suit the whole family. Well worth a visit. Recommended!
