Cobblestones Heritage Village and Museum

Cobblestones Museum: A Living Victorian Heritage Village Cobblestones Museum is no ordinary museum — it’s a living Victorian village where history breathes, stories unfold, and the past meets the present in unforgettable ways. Set among beautifully maintained, heritage-listed buildings and tranquil, park-like grounds, Cobblestones offers visitors a chance to truly experience life in Aotearoa’s 19th-century New Zealand. Here, you don’t just learn about the past — you step into it. A Window into Victorian Life From daily chores to the simple pleasures of family time, Victorian life is brought vividly to life. Every building and exhibit at Cobblestones tells a story — not just of a time, but of the real people who once lived, worked, traded, and dreamed in the Wairarapa.
