Tucked away in Halifax, the Herbert River Museum and Gallery is a treasure trove of local history.
Step into a 1950s lounge where radios once played and gramophones spun or explore a fully recreated Cane Cutters’ barracks to catch a glimpse of life in the fields. Discover how town founders and local families helped shape Halifax and the Hinchinbrook region into what it is today. Peek into a vintage hospital room with eerie old x-ray machines, then discover wedding dresses whispering stories of love long past.
From wartime uniforms to antique cameras, sewing machines to outdoor dunnies, every corner tells a tale. It’s not just a museum — it’s a vivid snapshot of the Herbert River district’s rich and varied past.
Open Tuesday to Saturday - 9:00am to 12:00pm.
