Vaughan Historic Homestead — Local services in Hibiscus and Bays

Hi guys. I went here. If you see another reveiw about this place talking about how "history starts when white people got here". That's a lie. I learnt that the Maori didn't really stay around the place. It wasn't a village, they only stayed a few times. Like camping out. A few people found old remains of the Maori just walking by. The person that wrote that reveiw is wrong and needs to obviously go inside the house and learn about the history like I did. On the topic, the inside of the house is very nice and full of history. The person that spoke to me about the history knew what they were talking about. History for the Vaughan Homestead started when the Vaughans built their home. The Maori were apart of it, but not as much as others (possibly). So DoughnutANZ if you see this. Maybe you need to go inside the homestead and read about it, because you are wrong. I have called you out on...

Went here for a school thing and it was quite interesting, the people talking about the history knew a lot about it and there was also a video of the Vaughan's themselves talking about their life when the park was a farm. After we got to see the Museum upstairs that has things the Vaughan's used on the farm as well as local news paper clippings (One talked about the church in Awaruku reserve that burnt down, very interesting) and letters from World War 2. We also got to play an old piano/organ like thing...

House associated with the farm that used to exist on the land that is now part of Long Bay Regional Park. The history of the land prior to it being used as a farm for the Vaughn family is not disclosed. It would be useful if the history of this area didn't assume that history started when white people started...
