Four buildings. Four different sites. More than a century of memories.

Where Masterton Came Together – The history and stories of four town halls is a fascinating new historical publication that brings together the stories of all four Town Halls that have served our community.

What began as an effort to preserve the memories of the Town Hall we all knew and loved, following its farewell in October 2025, soon became something much bigger.

As research unfolded, MRRA President Lyn Riley, who led the project, discovered that the story couldn't stop with just one building. The three Town Halls that came before it were just as much a part of Masterton's history and deserved to be remembered too.

But this isn't just a book about buildings. It's also about the people and the occasions that brought them together.

🎭 The concerts and theatrical performances.

 💃 The dances and celebrations.

 🤝 The public meetings and civic occasions.

 ❤️ The weddings, family gatherings and memories made across generations.

For many, these buildings were part of growing up in Masterton. For others, they hold stories passed down through their families. Although the buildings have largely disappeared, the memories and their place in our history haven't.

This is your opportunity to own a piece of Masterton's history and help ensure these stories are preserved for future generations.
