Rāhui Pookeka - Huntly Museum fire damage fundraiser.

It’s with heavy hearts that we are asking for your help following a heart wrenching fire.

After years of hard work, we were in the process of moving the original 1939 heritage railway building back to Huntly Railway Station to refurbish and use it to serve the passionate community of Huntly as a local museum.

Unfortunately, in the moving process, the first half of the much-loved historical building caught alight, and this important piece of New Zealand history fell victim to a destructive fire.

With a passionate team who have already committed so much hard work and effort to this project, we will carry on as planned, holding our heads high to get the job done. However, after suffering so much damage, the project will continue at a much greater cost and slower rate.

This is where we need your help. We’re calling on the passionate and resilient communities across Aotearoa to help us pick up the pieces and complete this project.

If you can spare any donation, no matter the size, it will help us get back on our feet and complete this project for our thriving community. Whether you can spare the price of your daily coffee, sweet treat, or anything in between, if you donate a little, together we can do a lot.
