Taihape Museum is a history museum at 14 Huia Street, Taihape 4792, rated 5.0 from 3 Google reviews. It is open to the public on Sundays from 11am to 2pm, and at other times by request.
Small town museums often hold objects, photographs and records donated by local families, so a visit tends to focus on the story of one place rather than a broad collection. Visits outside Sunday hours are arranged by request, so it helps to ask ahead. Regulars often return for new displays, and a visit can pair well with a walk around the town centre.
For local history on a Sunday afternoon in Taihape, this museum is worth a visit.
