The Foxton Courthouse, located in the township of Foxton, New Zealand, is a historic building that dates back to 1929. This brick structure replaced a previous wooden building and has since become a significant part of the town's history.

Significant Historical Events at the Courthouse

The Foxton Courthouse holds a significant place in the town's history as it was the location of the coroner's inquest into the Foxton Tragedy, also known as the Himatangi Tragedy, which occurred in 1929 shortly after the new building opened.

Foxton Historical Society's Museum Collection

The Foxton Courthouse is not just a historic building, but also the home of the Foxton Historical Society's museum collection. This collection provides a glimpse into the rich history and heritage of the town.
