The Margaret Kampsen Historic Dundee Depot Museum focuses on the town's history, the citrus industry, which was a source of town pride for decades, and the railroads that produced its setting.

The museum, which opened in 1998, showcases early photographs and newspaper articles, as well as memorabilia from citrus packing houses, and the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line railroads.

The museum also features monthly rotating exhibits loaned by residents.

Displays have included teddy bears, old toys, Super Bowl memorabilia, crockery and paperweights.

The museum is also featured on a Dundee postcard. The postcards may be purchased at the museum.
