He pārongo atu anōValhalla Homestead

Description

Valhalla, the Oden family homestead on Stoney Creek Road, was built in 1896. Behind the house is the old 'walk through' cow shed, complete with milk cans. Carl and Colleen Oden supplied Glaxo with milk from their small herd, until new regulations requiring the use of stainless steel milking equipment came into force, which proved non-viable economically. Colleen Oden was the first woman to qualify as an Artificial Insemination technician.
