Resilience • Resistance • Remembrance
20 March - 17 April 2026
This exhibition shares powerful stories from the 1863–64 British invasion of the Waikato—an event that reshaped the people, lands, and future of the region now known as the Waipā district. Through these stories, visitors are invited to explore how communities endured profound disruption, showed extraordinary resilience, and carried their histories forward with courage and dignity.
A key part of this exhibition highlights how a small group of students from Ōtorohanga High School sparked nationwide change by calling for greater recognition of Aotearoa New Zealand’s Māori history in schools. Their efforts led to a significant shift in how the country learns about its past, underscoring the ongoing need for education, dialogue, and remembrance.
This exhibition encourages visitors to reflect, engage, and consider how understanding history strengthens our communities today.

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
