Located in the Old Courthouse in Victoria Street, the Cambridge Museum aims to preserve Cambridge's rich historical legacy for future generations. In the late 19th century, Cambridge residents started collecting items of local interest relating to historical research, pre-European settlement, and the development of Cambridge. The Museum now has a fine collection of artefacts and archival material including biographies, historical information on local businesses, clubs, people and societies, buildings information, land and property records, military records (particularly the 3rd Waikato Militia and WWI Cambridge soldiers), school records, family histories and a wealth of photographs, postcards and ephemera.

Begin your experience with a fully guided 2.5 hour walking tour through Hobbiton Movie Set. Wander past Hobbit Holes, peek inside Bagshot Row, and raise a glass at The Green Dragon Inn. Enjoy a hearty banquet lunch at The Millhouse before going behind the scenes at the Art Department workshop, where your guide reveals the secrets behind Hobbiton's creation and upkeep. The adventure concludes on a secluded outlook with a hobbit-style platter of cheese, chutneys, and fruit enjoyed from a hidden vista tucked away from the bustle of the Shire. This is a 4.5 fully guided experience.
