Open Day: Nye Cottage

The cottage, built by George Nye in 1868 is understood to be the oldest surviving cottage in Manawatū. Nye was at various times a ship builder, overseer of public works, Māori language translator and Mayor of Foxton. The cottage has been restored to its original state and the first layer of newspaper wall lining is revealed upstairs.
