The Mangonui Court House, built of solid Kauri in1898 was the local court house until 1948 when it was used for sixteen years as the Police Station. In the 1970's a presentation Society was formed to save the building and it was restored to better than original as the paint was striped off the inside walls to display the beautiful kauri. For the last thirteen years it has housed Exhibit A.
Exhibit A is a co-op made up of about a dozen artists and crafts people who display their work for sale. I joined the co-op to sell my hand knitted merino/possum/silk sweaters and hats.
