The Clyde Museum

Located across from the Post Office Café & Restaurant, the Blyth Street Museum is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in New Zealand’s rich heritage.

Just a short distance from Clyde's main visitor centre, the museum is nestled within a charming heritage precinct that celebrates Clyde’s historical significance.

Briar Herb Factory

The Briar Herb Factory Museum in Clyde offers visitors a rare glimpse into a unique part of New Zealand's history, showcasing a mid-20th-century herb processing site right in the heart of this charming, historic town.

This was the site of the Briar Herb Factory established in 1930s and producing herbs until it closed in the 1970s. 

Previously added onto as a museum, it was closed as it did not meet earthquake standards, 

You are welcome to wander in the grounds.
