The Ferrari Estates Building, built in the 1880s as a general store, has been lovingly repurposed into a museum and gallery that celebrates Cooktown's cultural heritage. Visitors can explore exhibits on the town's gold rush history, Indigenous artifacts, and maritime past, alongside rotating displays of contemporary local art. The building itself, with its original timber floors and high ceilings, adds to the immersive experience. It's a must-visit for anyone wanting to understand the layers of Cooktown's story.
