The Hainsworth Building houses the Newdegate Pioneer Museum.  The building was commissioned by Charles Hainsworth, its first owner and was built by Ted Freeland, originally a ships carpenter, during 1933/34 as a general store and tearoom.  The building operated as a general store from 1934 until 1972 and had several owners during that period.  The museum is a great example of early settler life in the area.
