LIVE DAY! | Settling In: Howick 175th
November 2022 marks 175 years since Howick’s Fencible families set foot in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland in 1847 and began their lives in a new land. Come to this Howick Historical Village Live Day and discover the journey made by these settlers and experience what their lives were like in the early days of Howick, then known as Owairoa, the land of Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki.
Immerse yourself in history on this significant anniversary. Learn what a Fencible would have packed in their trunk for the long sea voyage or join a tour to discover the history of our original Fencible cottages and who lived in them. Come and see the coal range in Puhi Nui homestead fired up, blacksmiths at work at the forge, and attend a Victorian school lesson.
The sweet shop will be open and filled with old-fashioned lollies, fudge, and treats. Bring a picnic to enjoy in the heritage gardens or have brunch or lunch at the Homestead Café!
