Sanxia History Museum was build in the former local seat of power during Japanese imperial reign. The red brick building is now more than 80 years old. Inside is a reception area and lobby that has been referred to as "the most gorgeous office lobby in all of Taiwan". In 1999, a 4-year process of reconstruction began to make it the history museum that it is today, with two-stories of cultural exhibitions. The first floor has an exhibition area that periodically hosts arts activities; the second floor features permenant exhibitions of Sanxia historical items, old-time implements and memoribilia.
