- a theatrette that animates the history of the region in film and some surprising objects
- one of the earliest kit homes produced by James Campbell and Sons in the 1890s
- artefacts uncovered at Camp Strathpine, a Second World War military facility
- the Skyring Clock Collection of fifty clocks skilfully hand-built by one man
