An exhaustive collection of all things yesteryear. From steam trains to buildings and cars to artifacts. Better than many other historical villages/museums we have visited due to it's cleanliness and access to all buildings. If you are lucky you may even get a personal tour from 'Rosie' the resident tabby.
This historical village was very big and the buildings contained a large quantity of very interesting vintage items. This would have been a great place to take kids with a picnic as there was plenty of room to roam around. It was one of the better historical places we have been to.
Found this by accident. Arrived late, but given a pass for the next morning.Allow 3 hours to visit.Lots of interesting buildings and stuff to see.Best museum in Miles.
We travel up the Leichardt Hwy to visit family in Northern Queensland. So we stop at various towns to see the local sites, especially anything historic as we love history. The Miles museum and Visitor Information Centre is located on Warrego Highway. (Turn right at the T intersection). There are a few dozen replicas of historical buildings of the 1920's. Yes it is similar to Coal Creek in Korumburra or the Pioneer museum at Swan Hill, but different too, so well worth a look.
What a little gem! It you are going through Miles take the time to check out the Miles Historical Village and Museum. One of the best I have ever been to!
This place was recommended to us, when we arrived and seen a $14 entry fee almost walked away. I'm so happy we didn't, it was great a real nice piece of history. I may have even found a piece of my own family history immigrating from Scotland. If you've got a spare $14 pop in and have look around. Give yourself a good hour or two.
Miles Historical Village is different to but equally as good as Stockman's Hall of Fame/Qantas Museum etc. There is much more detail at Miles and it needs time to properly appreciate this wonderful village.It is a credit to its founders and volunteers. If traveling the 4 hours from Brisbane stay overnight to allow time to enjoy this first class facility.
Had seen this spot advertised in the Travel brochures. Well worth the visit. It brought back memories of my childhood. The buildings are very well set out and interesting to look at. The old cars were great to see. If I ever get the chance it would be good to bring the grandchildren to see how things were in their great grandparents day!
The village like display. It bought back many memories of my childhood. The school room and the hospital were my favourite displays.
Lots of great buildings and exhibits - in fact too many to take in on one visit - but that is all we had. The buildings had been assembled from all around the area and the exhibits donated by many local people. Very well set out and interesting information.
