Wainuiomata Historical Museum

The Wainuiomata Historical Society was established in 1977 and in March 1987 the Wellington Education Board gave the use of the ‘old school’ to the Society. The Museum was opened on 30 September 1989 by Harry Martin, the first and only Mayor of Wainuiomata. The current Wainuiomata Historical Museum Society Incorporated is registered with the Charities Commission and is run by volunteers. It aims to encourage the study of history and to foster and maintain a public appreciation of local places and matters of historical interest.
