Feilding's Museum is home to an outstanding collection of rural NZ heritage, showcasing over 140 years of history. Enjoy a fascinating historical journey through the lives of our early settlers, their horse-drawn vehicles, farming machinery and heritage. Through the use of historic vehicles our story is told with collections including: Maori & the early Manawatu natural landscape, Early European S

ettlement & Land Development, The Horse-Drawn Era, The impressive and fully restored Crawshaw Collection of John Deere Tractors & Ancillary Machinery, The Spall Collection of rare tractors & stationery engines. The very beginnings of New Zealand's sheep and dairy farming industry are explored with displays of early milking machines and a working replica woolshed display. The Museum building also houses the Feilding & Districts Community Archive where photographs, community and club papers, and family histories tell the story of the people. A small library of books relating to the collections and Manawatu is slowly being built up.

Can you spare some time on a Thursday to help at the Feilding & Districts Community Archive?

People who like searching out answers to queries are needed as sharing copies of the items with descendants or the community is why they are being preserved. Please consider giving a few hours of your time
