Visiting Cobblestones
Cobblestones is a working Victorian village in beautiful Greytown. See, touch, and hear how Wairarapa’s early families lived, worked, and played in the 1800s and 1900s. Start at the Exhibition building for a taste of local history and learn the lay of the land.
Then grab a Cobblestones village map to plan your journey through time.
Families
Bring the kids to see, touch and hear about the weird and wonderful ways people lived 150 years ago. Fill in an activity book, or inspect all the rooms in the historic cottage. Relax with a picnic and some Schoc Chocolate in the shady gardens – your small children are safely corralled in the fully fenced site.
