Dannevirke Gallery of History — Attraction in Manawatū-Whanganui

I live here now. Returned to my birthplace and true home. Raised in the Wairarapa time to come home. I live directly across from the old hospital where I was born. As for Dannevirke it's a real grass roots town. Nothing flash a town not wanting for much and a real tight knit community friendly and helpful. Typical Beverly Hillbillies, move aside...

Alot of historical items in a small area, staffed by volunteers with amazing historical knowledge. Small donation (capped at $10) to enter but between the items, the history behind them and the amazing volunteers, absolutely worth it. Even my younger kids (5&6)...

As with so many regional or local museums there are not enough hands to ensure material is filed well etc..loved the visit and the very good volunteer who tried to help us but some professional help could make it...
