Queens Redoubt Historical Visitor Centre in Pokeno Volunteers Wanted

Jeffrey from Pukekohe

The Queens Redoubt is a historical site in Pokeno that was originally built in 1862.
It was a Military Fortification that was an important part of our country's history during the New Zealand Wars
The Queens Redoubt Trust has restored part of the fortification and has opened a visitor center that impartially tells the story of this chapter of New Zealand history bringing it alive through realistic models and informative displays
The visitor centre is open on Sundays from 10am to 2pm and we are looking for volunteers who might be interested in hosting our open days and as the site is a work in progress we also need volunteers who would like to be involved in the future development of the site which could include some maintenance work , some building projects and assisting with archaeological work
If you have an interest in the history of NZ or have skills that could be of benefit to this ongoing project please contact us via email on queensredoubtpokeno@outlook.co.nz we would love to hear from you
