Wellington Anniversary Weekend Tours

The Wellington Provincial Centennial Building at Petone is the result of a 1930's building programme to mark the 100th centenary of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.

The building was originally designed with a 'Hall of Memories' and mens and womens bathing changing rooms.
In 1977 it was converted to the Petone Settlers' Museum. The building underwent a major refurbishment in 2016.
