The museum is located in the granary at ul. Pocztowa 14, a former grain warehouse, which was a typical building in the 19th century Nakło, at that time a regional center for transshipment and storage of grain. There are 6 similar buildings preserved in the city to this day (including 2 reconstructed). Our granary was built using the frame technique (popular "Prussian wall") at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The first owner known from written sources (land register from 1905) was Salomon Kätz, a rentier from outside Nakło, permanently residing in Charlotten. In 1912, the granary was purchased by Joseph Siegbert, a merchant from Nakło. Since 1919, the building became the property of the State Treasury without changing its function. In the 1940s, it was managed by the Municipal Cooperative. When 20 years later, in the early 1960s, the idea of creating a museum in Nakło emerged, it was decided to adapt the granary at 14 Pocztowa Street for this purpose. In the 1970s, adaptation designs were drawn up. Construction work began in 1985. Due to its poor technical condition, the building was demolished to its foundations and reconstructed. The ceremonial opening of the new seat of the Museum took place on May 3, 1990. The building has retained its original external appearance. The interiors, on the other hand, have been adapted to new needs. The ground floor houses offices, a library, and a workshop room. The first floor is intended for temporary exhibitions. The second floor houses a permanent exhibition, telling the history of the city and the region. A lapidarium has been set up in the garden adjacent to the building.

Buildings and remains of the infrastructure of the former railway station in Wapno on the inactive section of line no. 281 Oleśnica-Chojnice (Gniezno-Nakło nad Notecią section). A lot of traffic was associated with salt mining in the local mine, which had its own siding. At the peak of the mining season, 60 wagons of salt were dispatched from here daily. There was a signal box, and two platforms were designated for passenger traffic. During the mining disaster in 1977, the line from Damasławek to Kcynia suffered significant damage, and train traffic was temporarily suspended (replacement buses were running at that time).

The mine ceased its mining operations on 5 August 1977 as a result of one of the greatest disasters in the history of Polish mining. A sudden increase in groundwater flooded the third level, which was breached by failing to maintain the appropriate thickness of the protective salt shelf. The direct cause of the disaster was the creation of hydraulic connections between the workings and the aquifers outside the diapir. Numerous landslides appeared in the mine's surroundings. In order to save the town, a 6-kilometre pipeline from Lake Czeszewskie was laid at record speed and water was pumped into the shaft. Despite this, on 28 October 1977 a large sinkhole covered the centre of Wapno, the northern part of the railway station and a section of line no. 281 Gniezno-Nakło nad Notecią. 40 houses were destroyed (including apartment blocks). Around 1.4 thousand residents were evacuated, some of whom lost their homes and left the town forever. (Wikipedia)
