Probably the best thing to do in Arrowtown. Always interesting to find out about the history of these bygone, historic towns and their early settlers.

There is a gold panning experience that I really wanted to do, but the timing didn't work with our bike ride tour thing. The rest of the museum is small, but informative. The building used to be the bank. There are two free activities for kids that my 8 and 12 year old enjoyed.
