The home of the Dunkeld and District Historical Museum was originally a Presbyterian Church, although it was used for worship by all denominations in the early years. Built in 1865 through the combined effort of William Murdoch and the citizens of the town in the day, the Church has seen a number of uses and modifications over time.

The Museum holds a large collection of Family History records, which are filed alphabetically in easy to access folders. View Index. These folders contain miscellaneous pieces of information, family trees, reports and writings compiled by family relatives and contacts.

The collection also contains birth, death, marriage and other certificates, as well as information on inquests, enquiries and investigations.

Visitors are welcome to use the Museum history resources with little or no help, per hour $15.
