The museum consists of several buildings that have been designated as historic monuments, including a colonial cottage built in 1867, the first public hospital in Wairarapa built in 1875, the first Methodist church in Wairarapa built in 1865, a rural school opened to the public in 1902, stables, and the first wool scouring and pressing plant in Wairarapa built in 1858. These historic structures tell the long history of Greytown. In addition to these landmark buildings, the museum also displays carriages, gigs, and vehicles used by merchants. The Methodist church built in 1865 has also become a popular venue for many local couples to hold their weddings, with many choosing to celebrate the most important moment of their lives in this historic church.
