About the event
Jack Morgan Museum, Live Dairy Day Sat 21 March 10am-3pm
Watch a cow being milked; try your hand with the cream separator and make butter. Use the walk-through cow shed and learn about milk testing. If machinery is your thing, indulge yourself in our extensive collection of cream separators and other farm machinery.
See a collection of old model tractors; hunt for treasure; talk on the old telephone exchange; and try your hand at morse code.
While you are here, explore the other displays on offer encapsulating Hukerenui’s pioneering history; a compelling story of the men and women who developed the land – bushmen, gum diggers, farmers and hoteliers. We have plenty for the whole family to enjoy.
Finish the day with a drink and food from the grill at the historic Hukerenui Hotel.
