At the foot of Mount Kahuranaki on Kahuranaki Station lies a modern building which looks like a woolshed. But it’s not.
Although designed to look like a woolshed, in keeping with its setting, ‘Martie’s Red Shed’ is a museum which houses a novel presentation of many hundreds of artefacts which show the life and times of early farming in New Zealand.
Opened recently, the museum, close to Kahuranaki Road, proved the perfect subject for a recent ‘mystery tour’ by the Hawke’s Bay branch of the New Zealand Founders Society.
