Hervey Bay Historical Village & Museum

The Hervey Bay Historical Museum opened in 1974 with one building which was the first Public Hall at Dundowran and donated by the residents there. Money was scarce, so volunteers made jams, pickles and sweets to sell at the Museum and markets. Joan and Norm Christiansen also wrote a small book, “THE LAMP STILL BURNS”, about the very early settlers to 1890.
