Ideas for future events are welcome. Got something you’d like to show off? Talk to us! Republication of Waiheke PioneersDixie Day’s book Waiheke Pioneers, the standard reference for early European settlement on Waiheke, had been out of print for five years, but we have published a second, revised edition. The book launch took place in conjunction with our AGM on 12 June 2022. You can purchase the book at the Museum or at retail stores around the island, or order it online. Goodwin Cottage handrailThanks to island handyman Paul Wise, the steps up to Goodwin Cottage now have a handrail to help our disabled visitors enter the cottage. Paul is also responsible for the brick edging that now graces the pathways between cottages. Thank you Paul! We’re featured on the Sealink Roadtrip Our Museum is featured on Sealink’s Art & Culture Roadtrip. Have a look! The History Quiz That’s right — a trivia quiz with no science, no rugby, no Hollywood! We plan on making it a regular event for the Historical Society. Members and non-members welcome. Wharf2Wharf Fun Run Saturday, 14 March 2020 Once again, our Museum provided water to passing runners.
