Foxton Flax Stripper Museum and its collection

The history of Foxton is closely tied to the processing of New Zealand flax. This versatile plant was used to produce a variety of items, including ropes, baskets, and other goods. The flax industry played a significant role in the town's development and continues to be a part of its cultural heritage.

"De Molen" Windmill

In 2003, a replica of a 17th-century Dutch windmill, known as "de Molen", was constructed in Foxton. This fully operational mill produces flour that is sold in a local souvenir shop. Visitors to the mill can also explore its inner workings, providing a unique insight into traditional milling techniques.
