Stone Store & Mission House
MAP GOOGLE MAP
( www.historic.org.nz ; 246 Kerikeri Rd; 10am-4pm) Dating from 1836, the Stone Store is NZ's old-
est stone building. It sells interesting Kiwiana gifts as well as the type of goods that used
to be sold in the store. Tours ($10) of the wooden Mission House, NZ's oldest building
(1822), depart from here and include entry to The Soul Trade exhibition on the 1st floor of
the store.
Just up the hill is a marked historical walk, which leads to the site of Kororipo Pa. Huge
war parties led by Hika once departed from here, terrorising much of the North Island and
slaughtering thousands during the Musket Wars. The role of missionaries in arming
Ngapuhi remains controversial. The walk emerges near the cute wooden St James Anglic-
an Church (1878).
