Discover Ongaonga's History

About Us

We are a small museum in rural Central Hawke’s Bay, showcasing the history and efforts of local settler families as well as the history of Ongaonga. The museum includes the recently restored Coles Joinery building, winner of the Hawke’s Bay Heritage Tourism Award 2022.
