Hmmm...ok You want historic right not tourist attractions as such.
1. The Beehive: Wellington, shaped just as it sounds it is our parliament building.
2. One tree hill: (has no tree anymore got chopped down) thanks to activists, but is still a beautifull place.
3. Treaty house: In Waitangi-Bay of Islands, a legal document signed by the cheifs and brittish representatives that is still inforced to day.
4. Stone Store: Kerikeri - Bay of Islands, First missionary settlement and a really beautifull seaside town.
5. Cape Reanga - very top of NZ and fabled to be the final journey of the dead to leap from this cliff side into the next world.
6. Bluff - home of the very delicious (and huge) world famous bluff oyster not too mention the beautiful abiloni pearl.
phew theres a couple HISTORIC places ... there are a whole lot more. People get mixed up with what is historis and what is an attraction now days.

I know of two:
One is a plaque in Maketu on the Northern Island, South of Tauranga, where the Maori first arrived in the 1300s
The second is in the Mount Cook Village on the Southern Island and the base of Mount Cook. The plaque honors Tom Fyfe, James (Jack) Clarke and George Graham as the first to climb to the top on December 25,1894
