Te Hikoi was opened in December 2007, with collection items from Riverton Heritage Society, which was previously Wallace Early Settlers Association.

We have two main charitable organisations who keep Te Hikoi ticking, and volunteers are the main source of our energy.

We are currently looking for volunteers, if you have regular or occasional time you would like to help out, please contact us to discuss your skills and our needs.
