About us

Auckland’s Heritage Museum | Experience living history in Tāmaki Makaurau

Between 1847-1854, eleven ships brought the 2,500 Fencibles and their families, which nearly doubled the population of Auckland at that time. Other Fencible villages were at Panmure, Otahuhu, and Onehunga. All this history and more have been captured and brought to life at the Howick Historical Village with almost 40 historical buildings on 7.5 acres of land.

As an independent charity, we rely on the support of our visitors, community and volunteers to preserve our local history and culture. Donations are crucial in helping us with long-term conservation and development projects. Every dollar really does make a difference, and we thank you so much for your support.
