In 1974 the Ōtorohanga Courthouse was set to be demolished. A group of passionate people raised $100 to buy the courthouse. Thru the public relations foundation, Bill Millar did a glass bottle drive. These bottles were then taken to Auckland and sold at the glass works, whereupon they raised the full amount. The courthouse was then transported to it's current site on Kakamutu Road. The Historical Society was incorporated in October 1974, and the Museum opened it's doors. Entry was Free in 1974, and 48 years later we still have FREE entry. Donations & koha are greatly appreciated - whether it be monetary, volunteering or offers of help. Open Thursday till Sunday 12pm - 4.30pm
