1. Caboolture Historical Village
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 154 reviews
The Caboolture Historical Village is situated on 4 hectares (about 12 acres) of land just north of Caboolture town centre on the old Bruce Highway. It is listed as the Number One Tourist destination in the region. The dream of preserving our local heritage started with the formation of the Caboolture Historical Society in 1959. The first building arrived 20 years later when the old Caboolture Shire Council Chambers was moved to the site. Since that time with the contribution of many volunteers and supporters, the Village has grown to be the popular destination for tourists and locals to explore the local history.

A group of friends and I visited here on Friday. What a fabulous place! Beautifully maintained and cared for by dedicated volunteers. Spotlessly clean both in the grounds and numerous facilities. Sadly, when we arrived anticipating a nice cuppa, were told that due to circumstances, the cafe would not be open as they couldn't get enough staff. Not to worry I thought, spied the 'tea room' across the way and saw a lady there. Wandered over and asked if she was open as they had a sign outside. She said "No, I'm just the cleaner, what did you want?" I said that we were looking for a cuppa before we started around the village. She asked how many of us there were, and I told her nine. " I can make you a cup of coffee or tea with some scones, I'll just get my friend to help, she's the gardener, come back in 15 mins, if I can work this microwave, we'll fix you up"... I was stunned by her lovely manner and willingness to help out. We proceeded to indulge in the yummiest scones I've ever had, with bowls of delicious plum jam and cream. It was amazing. Thank you Donna and Carmen for your warm and friendly efforts. Nothing was too much trouble. There is so much to see at the village, sadly, my old legs gave out in the heat and I didn't get to see everything, but what a fabulous day. Our group travelled back in time with the relics of the past. (some of us still remember certain things ha!) The village originally had over 300 volunteers before Covid, now there is merely just over 100, most of whom cannot work yet due to the wait time on blue cards which they now all must have! Such a shame to see them suffering with this downturn. It is such an educational place, interest at every turn. I would highly recommend it for a beaut day out. The facilities and grounds are spotless, and there is quite a bit of seating for tired bodies throughout the village.

Travel back in time to ancient and classical worlds inside the treasure house of 500,000 years of human history. View Abbey Church’s 13th century medieval stained glass collection, and historical jewelry and artefacts from Europe’s Renaissance period and industrial revolution.

Wow really surprised by the Abbey Museum, the reviews sounded good so risked a 1hr drive from Brisbane to check it out. Travel back in time from British Stone Age, to Medieval times complete with armor, and then some interesting historical pieces from Egypt and Asia. The displays & information provided was excellent ! Great for everyone & worth the trip.

Took a trip along here as it was absolutely pouring down with rain and we were looking for something to do. When we entered I didn't think we'd be there for long. However once we had paid our entry and met Trevor it was over 3hrs before we left! Trevor was a great host and showed us around the place explaining everything as we toured around. Not just Trevor, but all members of the volunteer staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I was surprised to see an airworthy Chipmonk aircraft, something I flew as an Air Cadet 40 years ago back in Scotland. I even had the pleasure of assisting the staff, take it from the hanger and see it start up. There was also a Barbie and a raffle (think that's only on Tuesdays) in which we won a bottle of Red Wine. All in all a great way to spend a few hours on a very wet day.
