In a former bank building, this interesting museum has changing historical exhibitions on Yackandandah. Out the back is an original 1850s cottage that's furnished in period style and includes a unique outdoor 'double dunny' (toilet). A few interactive and participatory exhibits make it a good kids' destination. There's also a good selection of themed walking-tour maps in its gift shop.
