A Walk Around Historic Petone
A guided walk around central Petone, looking at places and buildings of historic interest.
According to Susan Butterworth: “Pito-one was a fine place for Māori to hunt or fish but exposed to southerly storms and inconvenient for habitation. Yet here was where the NZ Company chose to establish the first settlement.”
The walk will cover themes of Petone's early settlement, industrialisation, and the history and development of Jackson Street. You will see some of Petone's remaining important buildings and learn about their past and present uses.
Come and experience some of the history of this special place with people who are passionate about it.
Health & Safety
The walk involves some uneven footpaths and uncontrolled road crossings. Safety advice will be given at the start of the walks.
Please wear good shoes and dress for the weather. The tour may be cancelled in bad weather.
