In 1973 the area where this Historic Village now stands was a jungle of scrub, blackberry, willow and swamp. Today it represents the realisation of what many, seeing the original site then, would have regarded as an impossible dream. The land is dry, buildings have risen from what was bog, and artifacts, machinery, relics and priceless family heirlooms have been brought together to create the nucleus of what will eventually be a picture of the past on a much greater scale. What stands here today is, in part, the result of a long-term development plan. CreatorTauranga City CouncilExtentOne booklet
