WORLD WAR II When the Marines Came to Masterton Mark Pacey The showgrounds in the town of Masterton have been the home of the Agricultural and Pastoral Association’s annual shows since 1911. Located on the western side of the town, it was originally comprised of two fields separated by a small section of forest. The larger southern one is the site of the main show buildings and where the main show activities are held. The northern field has a railway line running alongside and had been used as holding pens for animals during the agricultural shows. It was later converted into a golf course which, after falling out of use, was sold for housing. Queen Street, Masterton in the 1940s. Courtesy: Wairarapa Archive 4
