Founders Heritage Park

Founders Heritage Park is a museum in Nelson, New Zealand, housing a number of groups with historical themes, including transport. A short heritage railway line is operated by the Nelson Railway Society. Several shops operate in the museum including a bakery and other artisan foods, as well as locally-made arts & crafts, a bar serving local Beers and live music and the grounds host several Festivals including Marchfest, The Jazzfest and Evolve Festival.

So bring the family to spend a lovely afternoon walking through a village of character buildings which are set in beautiful well established gardens and explore displays of Nelson’s heritage, learn the stories of our history and meet our working artisans.
