COME AND SEE!!!
COME AND SEE…THE PAST COMING TO LIFE!!!
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 BUILDING STILL IN USE IN THE WELLINGTON REGION.
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. That event is celebrated annually on Wellington's Anniversary Day celebrated in 1990 by a crowd of 50,000 people
12 years later they built this edifice and IT IS STILL AVAILABLE TO VIEW at 73 Eastern Hutt Road Taita!
THE VISITOR CENTRE HAS BEEN BUILT TO ALLOW VISITORS TO SEE SOME OF THE HISTORY, AND TOUR THE CHURCH AND GRAVEYARD. Descendents of the Tangata Whenua and 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.

Yet, the police knew it was a murder.
How?
