Welcome to Taranaki Pioneer Village

Taranaki Pioneer Village on State Highway 3, just south of Stratford, in Central Taranaki has developed into a significant tourist attraction since 1978.

About Taranaki Pioneer Village
40 furnished buildings including the authentic: Mangatoki Church, Pembroke School, Stratford Courthouse,
Okato Cottage built in 1856
and Tariki Railway Station….
The Pioneer Express was built by a local engineer based on the Fowler & Bagnal shunting engine. Which would be similar to those used in Stratford in the 1920’s. Volunteer drivers are available most days but it pays to check.
