Since then it has been used as a trading post, a library, a military barracks during the Northern War, a kauri gum store, a temporary boxing rink, a boys’ school, and a polling booth. Today the General Store offers an amazing range of authentic trade goods similar those first traded in the early 19th century.
This photograph, taken by W. Neill in January 1970, comes from the collection of National Publicity Studios. It shows the Stone Store, the mission gardens behind it (which includes one of New Zealand’s oldest fruit trees, a pear tree planted in October 1819), and the small waterfall nearby.
