ives to ignite a lifelong love of history among all patrons who grace our museum. A brief history:
Before assuming its current identity, the former railroad station underwent a crucial transformation facilitated by the establishment of the Dunedin Historical Society in 1970. Born out of a desire to preserve local history, the Society successfully saved and repurposed the Andrews Memorial Chapel, solidifying its commitment to safeguarding Dunedin's heritage. Andrews Memorial Chapel is operated and managed by the Dunedin History Museum.
