The Centre was originally an exhibit based in an old stone building which was formerly a cow byre. The exhibit focused on the area's geology, landscape and wildlife. In 1987 the exhibit was taken to the Glasgow Garden Festival and housed in a pavilion. The exhibit was then enlarged to focus on the natural history of the entire Ardnamurchan peninsula.

To date the Natural History Centre has won three major awards:-
