Ohura was once the centre of significant coal mining in the central North Island of New Zealand. The town is located just off what is now referred to as the "Forgotten World Highway" State Highway 43 that runs between Taumaranui and Stratford.
This quaint little museum is located in the small country town of Ohura and provides an opportunity to get up close and personal with the history of the time. With so much to see read, touch and hear it's a small side trip not to be missed.
Come and visit Ohura - experience a real country town, enjoy the stories of days gone by and discover a part of the Whanganui National Park off the beaten tourist track.
