Ross Goldfields Information and Heritage Centre

Nestled among the historic streets of Ross on New Zealand’s West Coast is the Ross Goldfields Information & Heritage Centre. Wandering around, you will see history, adventures and retail shopping options.

Set in the glory days of the 1860s gold rush, the Roddy nugget discovery is an important part of the story. The gift shop at the front offers visitors a chance to take home a piece of that heritage.

Browse locally crafted pottery, hand-knitted goods, gold jewellery, postcards, and woodturnings—all echoing the rugged character and craftsmanship of the goldfields.

Whether you fancy trying your hand at gold panning at Jones Creek (rent a pan here!) or simply enjoying the displays and stories, the Centre is an unmissable stop.
