Foxton Flax Stripping Museum

For over a century (1869 to 1973) there were flax mills in Foxton. At one time fifty mills were operating within ten miles of the town. Working machinery in the museum shows what the industry did. Hours are 1 to 3pm daily. Other times can be arranged. There is a small admission fee. The museum is now part of theTe Awahoa Niewe Stroom complex.
