A visit to the Historic Village Herberton is like stepping back in time. Showcasing Australia’s rich and diverse history this outdoor pioneer museum is testament to an era that is long gone.Open year round to visitors, the Village collects, preserves and displays fascinating historical exhibits from across Australia. The history of this museum is also closely tied with the township of Herberton and features many priceless antiques as well as buildings that have come from the town’s ancestors.The Village currently has over 50 original buildings that date from Herberton’s foundation years. Walking through the Village, visitors are given a sense of being in a real township complete with chemist, bottle collection, school, bank, grocer’s store, frock salon, toy shop, mechanic, jail and more.

This wonderful Museum does not appear in any of the travel brochures we read but I’m so glad we heard about it. Just the most amazing collection of memorabilia and history. What an amazing place to go for anyone young or old. Wheelchair accessible and so much to see. We thought we’d be there an hour or so we left at closing after arriving at 1:00 pm we could have easily spent another couple of hours. If you are going go early to make the most of it. Great cafe as well with reasonable prices. So so fab. Don’t miss it. If you have a choice between Paronella park and this museum choose the museum you won’t regret it at all.

So well worth a visit and James Bond (alias Micheal) as the tour guide oozes with such amazing wealth of Spy history which captivates and you hang off every word so you don’t miss out on the detail. Spy stories (the real deal). Herberton you didn’t disappoint. Thanks 007
