Te Amorangi Museum

The Te Amorangi Museum was built in 1925 for Horace Balfour Douslin. The Te Amorangi Museum is in Dutch Colonial style, reflecting the architecture of Rhodesia where Douslin lived.

The original farmhouse has been completely restored andfurnished in 1920s-1930s style, with displays of photographic and phonographic equipment and a collection of clocks.

This magnificently restored house is set in a garden setting and features many fascinating exhibits including "The Sheward collection" of Mäori, Missionary & colonial artefacts and "Evansville" country life in the 1920's, history of indigenous logging in the area, steam, industrial and agricultural machinery.
