Housed in the old post office and attached 1888 residence, the museum contains comprehensive displays of early artefacts, memorabilia and geological specimens. A magnificent array of black and green jade together with some of the world's most colorful marble is on display for both viewing and purchasing. There is a jade processing plant opposite where the cutting of the giant jade boulders can often be seen. Tours into the jade mining areas in the nearby Minbrie Ranges are also available on request. This is an interesting museum where several displays, and an informative video, describe the mining and steelmaking processes.
Visitors can tour the quarries in their own vehicles by following a guide.
An extensive and outstanding collection of more than 1900 crystals from around the world are displayed, along with superb specimens from the local Iron Monarch mine. The main feature here is the Pioneer House, reconstructed from the original 1908 home, plus a school, blacksmith shop, government shed and stationary store. This original wheelhouse from a Boston Bay tuna boat has a restored and fully-equipped cabin which serves as an interpretive centre for the commercial fishing industry. This unique venue is centred around the boat building workshop of the late and legendary Axel Stenross. This Finnish craftsman set up his trade here in the 1920s and the many relics, artefacts and photos of early sailing ships recall his working life and times.
