This small museum hosts a packed collection of photos and relics to help you learn about the origins of this community. This includes exhibits on the life of the early pioneers and settlers, traditional practices, the area’s development, and its local wildlife.

The museum is operated completely by volunteers who wish to display the uniqueness of Dorset to the local community and visitors. It’s a great way to learn about the area and its history. The museum is also the starting point for the walking trail leading up to the lookout tower, making it easy to combine adventures.
