Set in an old midland train station terminal is the city's official mueum. Between 1896 and 1949 the train came up from the divide four times daily. The Victorian rooms on the 3rd floor have original antiques, and on the 2nd floor you'll find mining gear and railroad memorabilia.
Downstairs is the theatre room with old theatre bills and antique pianos, and the gambling and prostitution room too. Check out the feathered costume from that era - not much in the way of skin flash - and the antique slots. In a separate bldg you'll find a mock up of a real assayers office where miners came to have their gold valued.
