Shantytown Heritage Park

Located 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) south of Greymouth, the Heritage Park opened in 1971 and consists of 30 re-created historic buildings making up a 19th-century gold-mining town.

The collection and wider heritage park focuses mainly on the Victorian era between the middle of the 19th century to before the Great War, but extends as far as the 1940s.

Today, Shantytown Heritage Park remains under the stewardship of a local board and continues its tradition of extensive community involvement.

The township comprises two main streets lined with 30 historic buildings, including a church, and the two-storey coronation hall.

Passengers can disembark at the Infants Creek Sawmill where a sluice gun is fired up to four times per day and tutored gold panning is available.
