Agnes Keith House is a beautifully restored two-story wooden house that once belonged to the American author Agnes Newton Keith, who wrote about her experiences in Borneo. The museum recreates the Keith family's living quarters with period furniture, photographs, and personal belongings. Visitors can explore rooms like the study where Agnes wrote her books, the kitchen with vintage appliances, and the garden that inspired her. The house offers insights into colonial life in the 1930s and 1940s, as well as the Keiths' resilience during World War II.
