Records date this traditional two-story joiners workshop from King Street, Kingussie, to 1904 - when Donald Fraser first paid £5 annual rent. Trading as 'D.Fraser & Co. Joiners and Cabinetmakers', he undertook all forms of woodwork from building parts to cart repairs and coffins. The business was taken over a number of times, and work finally ceased in 1996.
The Museum have relocated the main building and re-crerated the machine shop for the 1930s. The workshop benches, some tools and many other items are from Fraser's time.
