25 Sep 2024, 6:30pm–7:30pm NZST

Pyke St, Dunstan Hospital’s Vincent Ward, the Vincent Community Board are names we’re familiar with, but from whom did they originate? Meet Vincent Pyke: draper, miner, politician, writer, explorer and nineteenth century go-getter.

Date: 6:30 pm, Wednesday, 25 September 
Location: Clyde Museum, Blyth St

Russell Garbutt highlights some of Pyke’s lesser known activities in the Dunstan region.

Entry to these events is by koha-donation, with proceeds going to the host museum - think of it as the price you’d pay for a coffee.

This talk is the third in a series to showcase some of the fascinating items chosen for the Central Museums 100 project which will be launched on 12 October across our five Central Otago Museums.
