This family's experience:

Activities: We went back in time! The children sat on the benches of a country school, Eric and I explored the rooms of the first public hospital in Wairarapa. The site also has a church, a printing press, several farms, a fire station and a wool shed

Highlights: Aubin preferred the role of the teacher! It was a great experience to explore the historic buildings and see how life was in the past ✨
