Friends of Karori Cemetery: Wellington Anniversary Weekend Tours

Julia Kennedy from Friends of Karori Cemetery

Wellington Anniversary Weekend Tours

The Wellington Provincial Centennial Building at Petone is the result of a 1930's building programme to mark the 100th centenary of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.

The building was originally designed with a 'Hall of Memories' and mens and womens bathing changing rooms.
In 1977 it was converted to the Petone Settlers' Museum. The building underwent a major refurbishment in 2016.

So why not make a weekend of it? Visit the Musuem and then come on one of our tours to hear about some more about the early Wellingtonians on Monday 23rd January:

- City Builders 10:30am
- Catholics Tales 11:00am

Tickets are $10 per person, children under 12 are free.
Details and how to book your ticket on our website:
