Industry in the Hutt Open Days

Lower Hutt has a long history of industrial enterprise going back to the 19th century, including car assembly, food production, and a woollen mill.

Join Hutt City Libraries and the Petone Settlers Museum for a showcase of items and resources highlighting these local industries from around the Hutt.

Share your memories and stories of local industry with us to be recorded for future generations.
