Housed in a military building that started its life at the Featherston Camp, that was then moved north to Pahiatua for Polish refugee children. The building was moved to its present site & set up as a small town 1930's garage complete with all associated automobilia - garage equipment, tools, spares, signs, workshop manuals etc. Along with the vehicles, models of men, women and children in original costume are also part of this main display.
