WHY ANNIVERSARY DAY?????
SPOT QUIZ: WELLINGTON’S ANNIVERSARY DAY IS JANUARY 22ND WHY?
ANSWER…..
It is the building which was erected by the first organized group of settlers to come to NZ, who fetched up on Petone Beach on January 22nd 1840, where they .were welcomed and fed and sheltered by the local te Atiawa people
12 years later they built this edifice and IT IS STILL AVAILABLE TO VIEW!
AT 73 Eastern Hutt Taita – Follow the Motorway signs.
What’s more fascinating than to see history come alive before your very eyes.
This is the experience which awaits for you when you visit the OLDEST CHURCH (indeed the oldest BUILDING)IN THE ENTIRE WELLINGTON REGION.
SEE THE HISTORY…OUR HISTORY…AND TOUR THE CHURCH AND GRAVEYARD. Descendents of the Tangata Whenua and of the Settlers themselves will pass on some of the extraordinary stories of that time, at the very beginning of our common Treaty of Waitangi Journey.
HERITAGE NZ has commended this initiative, the HUTT CITY COUNCIL describes it as playing an important role in Lower Hutt’s identity and culture and the Lotteries Heritage Fund has donated $100,000 to the project.
