It was wonderful to spend time at the Polish Heritage Trust Museum yesterday as they celebrated 20 years.
The Polish Heritage Trust was established in the late 1990’s by Mr John Roy-Wojciechowski and the museum in Howick opened in July 2004. He and his family are still involved.
The museum continues to offer educational resources about Poland, its history, arts and culture, the history of the 733 children and 102 adults who arrived as refugees from Europe in 1944 (known as the ‘Children of Pahiatua’).
We're fortunate to have this amazing collection in Howick, providing opportunities to learn more about Polish history and culture.
