A local history museum at Brayshaw Park in Blenheim, which the museum calls its complex. The site includes a replica village called Beavertown, built in the style of early Blenheim, and a Blenheim Riverside Railway station. The museum's collection covers artefacts, images, documents and displays on local history, and there is an audio-visual theatre with regular film showings.
The museum is open daily from 10am to 4pm, and its archives are open on Tuesdays and Thursdays or by appointment. Admission as at 2026 is $5 for adults, $1 for children and $10 for a family, with special discounts for groups. Parking is free, and the museum is about five minutes' drive from the centre of Blenheim. The Blenheim Riverside Railway runs from the Brayshaw Park station to Beaver Station and back on the first and third Sundays of the month, with departures at 1.45pm and 3pm. The museum also runs a heritage education programme for school children, with hands-on experiences of earlier life.
