246 Kerikeri Rd; 10am-4pm)
Dating from 1836, the Stone Store is
NZ's oldest 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 Is-
land 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
Anglican Church (1878).
Rewa's Village
MUSEUM
(Landing Rd; adult/child $5/1; 9.30am-4.30pm)
If you had a hard time imagining Kororipo
Pa in its original state, take the footbridge across the river to this fascinating mock-up of
a traditional Maori fishing village.
