We went especially to Foxton to see the Dutch museum. It was very interesting. It was well put together from the discovery of New Zealand by Abel Tasman to the modern day. There also was a Maori section. While we were there, there was a special exhibition of Anne Frank. It was housed in the community hall with the library, isite and a coffee shop. If you are passing through Foxton it is worth a stop.

Oranjehof is a very special museum about the history of Dutch immigration in New Zealand with lots of personal stories. Oranjehof is part of Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom, with library and the Piriharakeke Generation Inspiration Centre. Enjoy a complete Dutch experience by visiting Oranjehof, the windmill with a Dutch shop and the Oven, with Dutch treats like kroketten en frikandellen.

Next to the Dutch windmill in Foxton, you can find an amazing venue hub with the library, community services and 2 great experiences about the history of local Maori-iwi and about the history of Dutch immigrants in New Zealand. This part of the building of Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom is called: Oranjehof Dutch Connection Centre. You can find there all kinds of documents, stories, artworks, pictures and applicants which tell the story of the immigration after WW2 from Dutch people to NZ. You will feel the emotions and the hard circumstances the first generations had to endure, but also the influence of a lot of 'Dutch kiwi's 'on daily life in NZ. For example, you can see and read the story of the first coffee shop ever in Wellington by Suzy van de Kwast, who was the first to boost the start of a real coffee culture. You can play the traditional Dutch game "sjoelbakken'and your children can dress up in traditional Dutch costumes for their selfies! The combination of the Dutch windmill, a Dutch shop, the Dutch restaurant the Oven with traditional treats like kroketten en frikandellen and Oranjehof offer you a real and amazing Dutch experience, very near the State Highway in Foxton
