The Waterfront Properties include a
Floating Dock, the Dockhouse Museum and a Ships Mast
exhibit along with a walkway and seating
facilities.
The Dockhouse Museum represents a step back
into time. The Dockhouse demonstrates to visitors how vessels of all sizes were pulled out
of the water for repairs in the late 1920's. The Dockhouse was rebuilt in 1990 by summer
students. The original shed consisted of two rooms, one for the haul-up equipment and one,
containing a table, chairs, and a stove, was a rest room for the men.
The Floating Dock was built in the fall of 1998. The Dock services personal yachts and acts as a drop off point for tourists when cruise ships come into town. The Dock is located behind the Grenfell Interpretation centre.
The Ships Mast Display is an exhibit of a
ships mast and its riggings. Local bands usually play near the exhibit during
festivals
such as Grenfell Heritage Night.
Also located near the Waterfront Properties are walkways and seating facilities where the public can relax or explore the Grenfell Properties.
