Travel back to 1800's

-- Brian


Nestled in the middle of surrounding suburbs of Auckland is this collection of buildings representing a Fencible Village of the 1850 period. The wooden buildings in the village are original, and brought to this site for conservation, restoration, and education. It's my fourth visit to the village within the last 10 years and I can't see anything that changed at all.

The house pictured above is the Puhi Nui Homestead, and it's the biggest house in the village. Inside the building:
