The Treaty House, built in 1833 for British Resident James Busby, is a key part of the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. This Georgian-style house museum has been carefully restored to reflect its 1840s appearance, with period furnishings and exhibits on early colonial interactions. Visitors can explore rooms where treaty discussions took place, view artifacts from the era, and learn about the house's role in New Zealand's history. The surrounding gardens and grounds add to the experience, connecting the house to the broader treaty site.
