Turuturumokai is the most impressive and well kept historical site in South Taranaki. Turuturumokai is an old Maori pa site and was occupied during the Taranaki Land Wars of the 1860’s. For a further introduction to history of the area don’t miss the Tawhiti Museum. Widely acclaimed as the best private museum in the country, Tawhiti Museum recreates many aspects of early life in South Taranaki from the Taranaki Land Wars to the struggles and set backs of an infant dairy industry. Life sized figures cast from real people are used extensively to provide a very real image offering a social perspective as well as a technological history
