Visitors can take tours into the well, descending into the depths of the cavern on a spiral staircase, which provided the basis for the iconic cylindrical design of the building.

The museum features exhibits on the history of Greensburg and the digging of the Big Well, the tornado and the rebuilding of the town.

In addition, the facility includes a gift shop, restrooms, and office and administrative space.
