ABOUT MĀNGUNGU MISSION
Māngungu Mission House is the oldest surviving structure associated with the Methodist Church in the country and is significant for its connections with the second major signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. Situated on a hillside overlooking the Hokianga Harbour in Northland, the house was originally constructed in 1838-1839 for the head of the Methodist Mission in New Zealand, the Reverend Nathaniel Turner (1793-1864) and his family.
Māngungu Mission is proudly cared for by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga. Plan your visit at visitheritage.....

A wonderful, moving story, one to be widely shared - the wallpaper is not really the centre of the story, but it is part of it.
