Old fire station of the town. Later it became a hostel for backpackers and now vape stores. This historic building can still be viewed outside.
A 9 meter, 1.5 ton sculpture of a brown trout at the entrance to the town. It was built in the 1980s by the Gore Host Lions Club. They chose to construct a brown trout, because the Mataura River that flows through the town is world-renowned for its top-notch trout fishing, and with the construction of the trout the town was declared to be the World Capital of Brown Trout Fishing. When other New Zealand cities began to contest the title, they held a fishing competition. While the number of fish caught was equal, all of the fish caught in Gore were brown trout while the competitors caught rainbow trout, so Gore kept the title with a competitive win to back it up.
