Went to the piano accordian show up at the museum called 'An American Journey". Great event with many acts of people singing, playing various instruments and acting short parts from musicals. We were given afternoon tea at intermission at no extra cost. Cost was 25 per adult. Is presented to the public to go to each year.

Lovely museum right up the top of the hill with beautiful views. Loads of parking for camper vans. Very interesting and well laid out. Good lighting to read about exhibits. We loved the nautical theme throughout. Not too much to look at and great variety of exhibits. Something for everyone. The accordions were an extra as was the clothing. You could easily spend a morning here and stay for a picnic with only birdsong to hear!!

What a fabulous museum, so much history in this area, especially loved the maritime section. Volunteer staff very informative & delightful.

As a New Zealander exploring my own country I found this museum just right. It had variety to keep me interested and not so big it takes all day to get through it. Staff there are very helpful and informative.

The museum is on top of a hill overlooking the river. Staff very friendly and the museum is informative. It will probably take 30 mins-1 hour to explore. Lots of things to see, all sorts from history to tree cutting, kauri trees, gum trees. Some interesting stuff for the kids to see. The museum is well maintained inspite of being funded by donations only and run mostly by volunteers. The stained glass of the front part is nice. There is a picnic area with tables and seating, also a clean restroom. This is a must see in Dargaville and very near the town center. The drive up the hill is a short drive but can be tricky so slow down.

Very well presented exhibits nicely reflecting the history of the area. Particular highlights: the gum diggers exhibits and stories, generational stories of Dalmatian heritage and culture (the accordion collection is a must see!), Rainbow Warrior and maritime exhibits, costumes through the ages.

Well worth the visit. Mobile home water/waste station behind the outdoor toilet block in car park on the left. Be aware one way road so don't drive out the way you came in. ..... Like what I did
