About More Info

Echuca Historical Society Museum and Archive has an extensive historical collection that dates back to 1860. This is housed in the National Trust listed former Police Station and Cell complex in Echuca, Victoria.

You can see items from the river boat days, settlement of the area, items relating to the coming of rail, logging the forests and much more. The museum contains information and photos relating to the pioneer residents and old buildings in the town, much of which date from the earlier portion of the pioneer era.

Groups and students are welcome. A guide to the collection is available by appointment. Several of the members are very experienced researchers, addressing enquiries for research from the general public, and indexing local newspapers from 1850. Research fee is $30 for the first inquiry and $30 per hour thereafter.

The museum regularly updates its Exhibition Gallery of photographs and short term exhibitions.

Coach and walking tour guide available.
