Housed within an impressive, newly-renovated facility, permanent interpretation in the free-to-visit museum details a variety of subjects, including local businesses, crofting, fishing, weaving, schools, and World War I impact. The archive, visitable by appointment, has been maintained and compiled for over 40 years by locals and a dedicated group of volunteers.
