Museum stop: Firth Tower and Farming Museum

From Summer Times, 10:45 am on 14 January 2025

Today we're in Waikato for our daily museum stop celebrating the region's rich farming and dairying history.

The Firth Tower and Farming Museum is on the Matamata Estate, covering 56,000 hectares. 

It includes well-preserved heritage buildings, farming machinery and equipment and displays on the history of milking and shearing. There's also a special memorial to one of the region's celebrated rangatira.

Anna speaks with manager Vicky Kelly.
