The Coach House Museum sets out to be New Zealand's premier collection of horse-drawn vehicles and agricultural, horse drawn equipment. The collection of more than 50 vehicles includes gigs, landaus, phaetons, carts, drays, coaches and various items of farm equipment. Many of the vehicles have been completely restored and some are in their last used state.
The purpose built museum also has a superb display of local historical photographs, re-created with modern computer technology.
Located in the Manawatu town of Feilding, the museum is open daily 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. for visitors and can be open at other times by arrangement. To arrange a visit or to find out more information please click here
