About us

History will never be the same again.

In historic Arrowtown the past is all around us. That's why the Lakes District Museum has established an interactive education programme designed to enrich and enhance the New Zealand curriculum.

Arrowtown is an amazing resource which allows students (and adults) to experience hands-on and interactive learning in an authentic environment. Arrowtown is a historically preserved goldmining town which allows endless opportunities for active learning, helping to bring the past to life.

All programme options are activity based and designed to suit all stages and styles of learning. All options are well supported by pre and post visit material.

By working with the education officer you will be able to organise the most appropriate programme to meet your achievement objectives.
