Te Awaroa Museum

Had an amazing night for a paranormal investigation with Paranormal NZ and like minded people in April (totally forgot about leaving a review here$). Not too much happening during that night but I loved the atmosphere, those old historic buildings and the objects displayed inside them.

Had the opportunity to take part in a paranormal investigation

The museum was very interesting, there was a lovely office lady who’d seen us walk in she and popped her head out said ‘Hello’ and said we were welcome to joined the guided tour that had just started. So we joined in. It was also good reason being, we were able to have a leisurely stroll around in middle of the tour. I saw a kind of cottage laid out with bedroom, kitchen. I’m looking forward to returning because I missed part of tour so didn’t hear the story about it. I’m guessing the back room was the formal parlour where they entertained visitors with tea and scones - or maybe I’m getting to carried away. I would have to say 1800s has always been an era that I’ve always been interested in. I thoroughly enjoyed the barn and all the bygone era tools of these pioneering families. I had purchased a couple of books ‘ Voygeering men’ and a book about Women of pioneering families. So to pop into the museum was a must. I also met a lady whose family was a descendent of the Mcleods family - so it was extra special. The history of Helensville is very interesting. I was born and raised in West Auckland. The garden out front is lovely, and the ladies were very welcoming. Oh I should’ve taken more photos, but these two items were the ones - I had no idea what they were.
