old cromwell town
Old Cromwell Town, a reconstructed historic precinct on Melmore Terrace in the small town of Cromwell in Central Otago, New Zealand.
Upon the completion of the Clyde Dam in 1992, the valley behind the dam was flooded to create Lake Dunstan. To preserve the town's gold mining and pioneering past, dedicated volunteers painstakingly moved the buildings from Cromwell's original town centre to higher ground.
Visitors can now wander through historical buildings, dating between 1860 and 1900, including London House Stables, Captain Barry's cottage, the Cobb & Co Store, Belfast Store and Jolly's Seed & Grain Store.
