In Matakohe, Northland, The Kauri Museum tells the story of the kauri forests of the north as well as the people who have made the area their home.
You can see life-sized recreations of pioneer homes, kauri boats and furniture, machinery and tools from the kauri industry and even get up close to a full-sized operating sawmill moving at slow speed so you can see how it works.
To see a virtual tour of the Museum’s sawmill, follow this link and scroll down the page.
