Displays highlighting saddler, printing, candlemaking, shearing, engineering, the dairy industry and a barber shop complete the ground floor. Early pioneer photographs and an exhibition focused on the importance of shipping in early Opotiki occupy the mezzanine floor, while twelve heritage rooms trace history from the arrival of pioneers to the 1930s on the Elvira Sundell third floor, along with the Whakatohea Reserch and Archives Taonga [treasures of the past].
