Port Welshpool and District Maritime Museum
The Museum consists of a house and various out buildings located on two town blocks in Port Welshpool. The collection is spread over the whole area. The strong point is the early fishing industry in Corner Inlet, including a daily diary kept by the Smith family from 1887-1958. Housed in Welshpool's first residence (1881), the Museum contains a local history collection that includes natural history objects, fishing and maritime artefacts. Original display cases house a magnificent shell collection that dates from the 1800s.
