The People of Strath Taieri through the Years

Some of the photos in the reception area of the museum. Not forgetting our massive brown trout!

“He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata. What is the most important thing? It is people, it is people, it is people.”

Over the years, literally thousands of people and families have lived in the Strath Taieri district for a part or all of their lives. Every one of them is an important component of the giant tapestry which makes up the rich history of this unique community.

We welcome enquiries from researchers and other interested parties about people and families who once populated our district, and are ready and willing to research and answer any query. Please click on the button to request our help.
