Description

Uncover Aitutaki’s early settlement history at the Site of Tautu's Silo 1. Built in 1888, this church once served as a place of worship for Tautu villagers, saving them from long journeys to Arutanga. The site also marks the original village of Tautu, which was later abandoned after an epidemic. Today, a memorial and interpretation panel stand on a well-kept grassy clearing, sharing the stories of the church and its congregation’s hardships.

Highlights

  • Visit the memorial of Tautu’s historic 1888 church
  • Learn about the village’s relocation due to an epidemic
  • Peaceful setting with an informative interpretation panel
