Beenleigh Historical Village and Museum

Discover Your

Australian Heritage.

Visit us at 205 Main Street Beenleigh and embark on a journey of years gone by. Our collection of Early Australian heritage is organised as a village and dedicated to preserving the cultural legacy of the old Beenleigh region for current and future generations.

We take bookings for tour groups (guided and self-guided), school groups, weddings and special functions.

Volunteer Opportunity.

From restoring heritage buildings and artefacts through to demonstrating long lost crafts. You don’t need experience, just a friendly can-do attitude!

INSIDE THE VILLAGE

The Beenleigh Historical Village and Museum and its Hidden Treasures

More than a historical museum, you will be surprised by what you’ll find once you step inside the village. The Village Cafe will welcome you with good old-fashioned service and hearty home-style food as you overlook the glorious gardens of the village. The art gallery, “Gallery in the Corridor” is filled with many artworks from local artists that are available for purchase. Both the cafe and gallery are open to the public.
