Featherston is the southern gateway to the Wairarapa, sitting at the foot of the Remutaka Range where the road and rail line from Wellington drop down onto the plains. The town grew around the railway that once climbed the steep Remutaka Incline, and the Fell Engine Museum here holds the last surviving Fell locomotive in the world. Many of its residents commute through the hill to Wellington, and the town has made a name as a book town with secondhand shops and an annual literary festival.
