WALKING TOUR: Howick Historical Village during Christmas event. Auckland, New Zealand.

Walk With Us around Howick Historical Village during their Christmas event. It was late and light was low, so I couldn't get much footage inside buildings. I definitely want to come back during the daytime and take another video inside some of the historical houses! ~From Wikipedia~ Howick Historical Village is a living museum in Auckland, New Zealand. It is a re-creation of a New Zealand colonial village using surviving buildings from the surrounding area. Despite its name, the Village is actually located in the suburb of Pakuranga. The Howick Historical Society was originally formed in May 1962 following a public meeting of people interested in local history. The development of Howick Historical Village began in 1972 when Bell House was offered to the Society. The local council offered five acres of land next to Bell House to be used to form the village. This was later extended to a total of seven acres. It took eight years to develop the area into a living museum using volunteer labour. Over this time, a number of historical buildings were offered to the Society which were all relocated to the village. The work was funded largely from the sale of Christmas cards and from cake stalls. On 8 March 1980, the Howick Colonial Village was officially opened by Allan Highet, Minister of Internal Affairs, on behalf of Governor-General Sir Keith Holyoake, who was unwell on the day. At this stage, the village consisted of fourteen buildings. It was later renamed to become Howick Historical Village, and it was further developed to incorporate more than 30 buildings alongside a pond and historical gardens. The development and operation of the village was funded from admission fees, income generated from events and bookings, donations, plus some funding from The Howick Local Board. Since 2016, the village has been used as a set to film for the YouTube group Viva La Dirt League.
