Preserving history in a fun and interactive way 👏. If you are looking to book a school group, now is the time for planning! Check out our website, https://www.firthtower.co.nz/schools-groups for the details. If you are local, then pop along during our opening hours and talk with our friendly staff about our schools program. Suitable for primary and intermediate ages, children will step back in time and be immersed in Matamata life during the late 1800's.

On a recent visit the pupils from School enjoyed stepping back in time when they enjoyed activities such as Great, Great Grandmas Washday, Butter Making and Victorian Outdoor Games. Kaipaki are celebrating their 150 year Anniversary and their visit here tied in nicely with the schools celebrations throughout the year. A great day was had by all!
