Hervey Bay Historical Village and Museum
The Hervey Bay Historical Village and Museum features 19 historical buildings housing over 8,000 exhibits, from the Fraser Coast and Wide Bay area. These exhibits include a fully-furnished slab cottage, built in 1898, the Goodwood Railway Station, the first Dundowran Hall, the original Dundowran State School, a fully equipped blacksmith shop, cane harvesting machinery, horse drawn buggies shed, restored IHC three horse power engine, petrol driven washing machine, school and music room, and Hervey Bay's original Methodist Church, built in 1901, and now the venue for weddings.
The village comes alive on Sundays between 1.00 p.m. and 3.00 p.m when our volunteers dressed in period clothes demonstrate old time crafts. See the blacksmith make a horseshoe, treadle the 100 year old wood lathe and help make your own souvenir wooden goblet. Come and turn the handles on the corn shelling machine or join the Rope Maker and make a souvenir piece of rope on a 100 year old machine for free.
Groups are welcome.
