DescriptionLord & Lady Bledisloe announce the gift of land and Treaty House at Waitangi to the nation 1932 (8724582742).jpg
On this day New Zealand's Governor-General, Lord Bledisloe, with his wife, announced the gift of the Treaty House at Waitangi and its surrounding land (405 hectares) to New Zealand. The property had become very rundown and the government was unwilling to buy it. The Bledisloes, realising the importance to New Zealand of Busby's former home where Te Tiriti o Waitangi had been signed on 6 February 1840, had purchased the property, and now they gifted it to New Zealand, ensuring its preservation.
