This concentrated museum focuses on the contribution and history of people who have developed the agriculture and economic prosperity of what grew into Dunedin. I loved the displays and the interactive exhibit. The tiny gift area offers local folk art, silly kitchen towels. This is worth a visit when one enjoys a meal, concert, dance event, love music, or just a stroll through Dunedin. Accessible venue and entry, open door. Accessible van parking in lot and accessible parking on free street parking. look to city lots for evening and weekend parking.

We took the Victoria Drive Sunset Stroll provided by the Dunedin History Museum that was very good. Our guide Vinnie, former executive director of museum, is truly passionate about Dunedin, its history and Victoria Drive. With his prior experience Vincent actually knew many of the families with property/mansions on the beautiful and scenic Victoria Drive of Dunedin. We learn extensive history of Dunedin’s early years, impact of economy , and families from Dunedin’s early years until today. This is while we stroll the scenic and beautiful homes on Victoria Drive. Thankfully, history continues to be preserved in this scenic area with homes on the water. The photos show the numerous historical homes along with a few newer houses. We learned a lot of history of Dunedin and the impact of many families over the years. The photos are from homes from beginning of Victoria Drive to our last stop.

Cute place , gift shop and the museum is $5.00/person tells about the town history. On the outside it looks like a train station and to the left side of the building is a train car that sells drinks, ice creams and snacks so cute. Right across the street from the museum is a bike rack that looks like a train and a cute dolphin.

This is one of the best local museums. Excellent collection and display of artifacts, very informative, and in a great location. Restaurants, shops, ice cream, bookstore, microbreweries are all within walking distance. Make the day of it!
