The Paekakariki Station Museum was advertised as being opened on Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately, it was closed on the Saturday when we visited. It appears to be closed as it's still undergoing earthquake strengthening. However, the 1915 South End Signal Box was open. Though the Signal Box is now a gallery. The Paekakariki Station had two signal boxes - one at the south end and one at the north end. The signal box system was discontinued in 1985 which was replaced by a remote control system. Fortunately, the signal box was restored by the community and is now registered a Category I by New Zealand Historic Places Trust.

Nice slice of New Zealand and American history. Lovely little museum, some great stories and original items. They even have the soilders files to read through. Well worth it, plus it's free entry.
Something different.
Lot about history of the area. Great place to visit.
Nice view into the past and the USA connection to the area. Kids liked it too!
Check the hours and be gentle with the volunteers and you'll have a great experience!
A classic museum. Beautifully kept in a train station. Lovely helpful people as well.
Awsome trip with the old steam engine
