Museums

Located at 159 George St., the Donald Hughes Annex Museum acts as the village's centre of history. It sits in what used to be the Baptist church, but now acts as a gallery and collection room. ​ The exhibits feature an eclectic mix of local and sometimes not so local artifacts. With over 10,000 artefacts in the collection, there is always something new being put on display. The displays change on a regular basis, so visit often!
