The museum’s main attraction is its Federation Street exhibit, a recreated early 20th-century streetscape.

The exhibit offers a glimpse into everyday life during this period, with authentic furnishings and objects on display.
The museum also holds a collection of artefacts from Burnie’s industrial history, including tools, machinery and photographs. These items illustrate the role of industries such as timber, farming and shipping in shaping the town.
