Waihi Gold Mining Museum
Waihi Gold Mining Museum and Art Gallery
54 Kenny St Waihi
The Waihi district and particularly the Martha Mine was a major centre of industry in New Zealand. Mining still continues there today but open cast rather than underground mining.
The museum has a great collection of documents, photographs, objects and models illustrating Waihi's mining heritage.
