The Garrison. Preserving history for future generations.

The Society is currently gazetted as the Custodians and operational management team for the former RNZAF Station Omaka buildings, adjacent to Omaka Aerodrome in Blenheim, which are owned by the Department Of Conservation (DOC). In addition to being used by the RNZAF during the war, these buildings were used from 1976 to 2007 as the headquarters for the local Air Training Corps cadet unit, and as such they have a significant heritage value for many Marlburians.

The Garrison Society is working towards restoring these WW2-era buildings, and are planning to develop the site as a living history example of a Second World War Station. In addition to preserving the remaining wooden buildings on the site before they irretrievably deteriorate, the Society's goal is that the site will eventually be open to the public and used for educational and research purposes as well as containing museum displays and restoration facilities.
