Henderson's Mill Cottage

The Henderson's Mill Cottage marks the starting point for the two loops of the Henderson Heritage Trail.
The original part of this cottage is thought to date from about 1848 as the mill cook house. In 1875 it became the second Henderson's Mill school room. After 1880 it is believed to have been converted into a four roomed cottage. Nearby on the Opanuku Creek you can see a copy of the original water wheel which was used to power Thomas Henderson's sawmill. Each loop of the trail takes about 40 minutes to walk.
