About Taranaki Pioneer Village
The Taranaki Pioneer Village, on SH3 at Stratford South, was developed following purchase of ten acre property in 1976. Initial funding from founder donors and debenture holders was attracted by a promotional prospectus. The property included a lake and a 1910 villa residence which remains today.
With support from founder members, business associates, funding sources and various donors of buildings and objects, the Society has been fortunate to continually evolve. Today, with forty buildings including significant authentic structures and interior displays of heritage interest, an outdoor museum now affectionately known as ‘the village’ has been established.
Contrasting with the ‘stepping back in time’ experience within the village (circa 1850-1950) the frontage has modern amenities to service both the visitor industry and local community. A café, function centre and extended car park was developed in 2010.
To be acknowledged is the financial support received from major funders, Taranaki Electricity Trust and TSB Bank Community Trust who have greatly assisted the Society to become a unique historic visitor attraction and a multi-purpose venue appropriate for school education groups, weddings and coach tours.
Overseeing the governance of the Society, a management board continues to strive towards preserving and presenting local and regional history – an inheritance that continues to appreciate as time passes.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had such a great day here with the family. We arrived at 1, just missing the 1pm train ride, but it took a good 2 hours to go around the village looking at everything, and then we took the 3pm ride. The train ride was great - our small boys loved it !
There is plenty to do here - lots of heritage buildings and great detail about their histories. When we visited we were the only people in the entire park, so it was quite magical.
I recommend that you allow at least 2-3 hours to check out everything in the village. Cost is very reasonable - I think we paid about $24 for two adults and two kids, including a train ride (two laps of the entire village). They have eftpos and a cafe, so no need to bring cash or food.
