Having recently been helping out at the Katikati Heritage Museum I am amazed at the content and setup at this unique facility. Despite being comparatively small there is a very impressive local historical section and a wealth of articles from a past era which fascinates young people and fills older ones with a sense of nostalgia. Given the concern of some local folks at council committing to some financial guarantees I am also surprised at the number of locals who ask 'What is out there anyway?” One way to ensure the success of this venture is to visit and enjoy this impressive place that is after all right on your doorstep.
