Time of Meetings: 1.15pm-3.00pm
Place of Meetings: Blockhouse Bay Community Centre 524 Blockhouse Bay Rd, Blockhouse Bay.

Every Tuesday, from 9am – 1pm Armanasco House is open to the public, with our members on hand to guide you through the wealth of local history we have on display there. Free admittance.

We aim to discover and preserve the rich history of Blockhouse Bay, one of the innermost suburbs on the shores of the Manukau Harbour in Auckland, New Zealand. Look at our Diary on our website for the dates of meetings and special events.

The Blockhouse Bay Historical Society Incorporated was formed in 1998 to record and preserve the fascinating history of the area. Since then interest in the Society has intensified, the membership has grown and a great deal of valuable material secured.
