Foxton Flax Stripper Museum
About
Among North Island's local businesses, Foxton Flax Stripper Museum sits on Harbour Street, Foxton 4814. The address places the museum in the town of Foxton, on the island's lower west coast.
First-time visitors should expect a small museum devoted to flax stripping rather than a large civic institution, with two photos accompanying the listing. A 4.5 out of 5 rating from 16 reviews points to a modest but appreciative visitor base. The website at http://www.foxton.org.nz/attr-flax.html provides background before a visit.
Reaching Foxton from Wellington, Auckland, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier or New Plymouth means a drive, since the town sits off the main urban centres. Harbour Street itself is easy to find once in Foxton.
New Zealand is a long, narrow group of islands, so almost nowhere in the country is far from the sea. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August. Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840. Rugby union is followed closely nationwide, and the national team plays in black.
