Tiny folk museum but interesting
Interesting to learn about the trade back in history - friendly staff, the oldest house in town built around 1850?

Lots of interesting exhibits
There's a varied range of exhibits, firstly in the maritime museum with a boat and fishing related items along wither other tools, etc. The Merchant's house is furnished for the time it was last in use and is the oldest house in the village. It was brought over as a kit house in the 18th century - early IKEA!
