Petone Settlers Museum
The building hosts our museum where we collect, care for and share our social history. You can learn about Honiana Te Puni-kokopu and Te Wharepouri - significant ariki (leaders) from the 1800s. Experience the stories of the early European settlers, and learn about some of our local people and communities.
