context_page_description: The Oranjehof Dutch Connection Centre is one of the two museums that are part of the multi-cultural, multi-purpose visitor and community hub Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom in Foxton, New Zealand, just over an hour's drive north of Wellington.
  The award-winning facility is also the home of the Piriharakeke museum, a library, community rooms, a gallery, a heritage room, a Council Service Centre and an i-SITE desk.
  The Oranjehof museum was created with wide support from the Dutch community in New Zealand. In addition to telling the story of the Dutch in New Zealand - it also is a centre for Dutch culture, language and community.
  Oranjehof is an integral part of the Te Awahou Riverside Cultural Park, which also features two Dutch-inspired cafes, and the flour-grinding windmill De Molen.
  The Dutch Connection Museum Trust collaborated in partnership with Horowhenua District Council, and the Te Taitoa Māori o Te Awahou Trust to create the Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom facility - the home of the Oranjehof Dutch Connection Centre.
