Waikawa Museum and Information Centre
Southern Scenic Route,
Waikawa,
Tokanui
We are a small museum of local history, plus we do family searches at a small cost. The Museum is housed in an old but upgraded school building. The Museum tells the historical story of the area from the early whalers to gold mining, fishing, sawmilling and stone quarrying and present day farming. It also has an interesting farm machinery display.
Situated on the South Catlins Heritage Trail in the hamlet of Waikawa, the museum is set in garden surrounds with picnic areas and tables available for visitors. We are open daily 10:30 to 4:30.
