Caboolture Historical Village

The Caboolture Historical Village is an impressive 4-hectare living museum showcasing important heritage structures.

It’s the top tourist attraction in the region and for a good reason! With more than 70 buildings and over 100,000 different items on display, visitors are in for a treat.

It will feel like a trip back in time as you walk through streets with old establishments, including a butcher, post office, general store, and barber. Though it’s certainly fun to see how life was in the past, this attraction is vital in preserving the local heritage.

The Caboolture Historical Village features exhibits from the old Caboolture Hospital, Queensland Prison’s Museum, the old Caboolture Railway Station, and many cottages transported from different areas around town.

One of the major highlights is the display of ship models from the 1788 First Fleet that arrived in Sydney. Other attractions within the village include historic homes, antique cars and machinery, and a rainforest garden.

Many schools organise field trips to the museum to educate students about early history in Australia and the local area. Children are also encouraged to visit during school holidays to learn while getting entertained through various exciting activities such as demonstrations of wood-crafting and blacksmithing. These were valuable historical skills that many tend to forget about today.

No matter how old you are, you’ll be hard-pressed not to be enamoured by the charming village while appreciating all the memorabilia on display.

The village is an affordable attraction and makes a convenient stopover as you make your way to the Sunshine Coast. For the best experience, allot around three hours to make the most out of the many experiences in the village.
