Welcome to the Gift Shop
Nestled in the heart of Dunedin, our gift shop is housed in the original train depot, a historical gem that echoes the vibrant past of our town. As you step inside, the exposed brick walls tell stories of bustling travelers and train whistles, while charming photographs on the windows capture the lively spirit of an era when the train was a lifeline for our community. Here, we invite you to discover not only unique gifts for your loved ones but also a piece of Dunedin’s rich history. In our shop, you’ll find a curated selection of handpicked treasures from locally crafted art to unique souvenirs, each item reflects the talent and creativity of our Dunedin-based artisans, secure museum admissions, buy event tickets and even make donations to support our mission. Every visit is an opportunity to connect with the essence of Dunedin while taking home a cherished reminder of our quaint town!
Volunteer Highlight
Volunteers are the heartbeat of our organization, and we truly couldn’t operate our Museum and Gift Shop without their invaluable support. We are honored and grateful for each and every one of them, recognizing the dedication and passion they bring to our mission. While we wish we could celebrate a volunteer every day, we’ll be highlighting their contributions quarterly. If you’re looking to make a meaningful impact in Dunedin’s community, we invite you to join us as a volunteer and help us continue our work!
