Miles Historical Village Museum is home to one of the most authentic pioneer streetscapes in Queensland. Our history is brought to life in a streetscape of genuine historic structures carefully relocated from the surrounding district and replica buildings filled with authentic memorabilia. The buildings and collections date from the late 1860s to the 1950s and illustrate the living and working conditions of the local district’s early beginnings giving you an insight to the workings of an early Queensland rural town.

Stroll the main street as our ancestors would have, stopping in at the coach house and post office to learn about the Cobb & Co mail runs, the bakery where everything was manual labour, the chemist with its striking range of bottles that once held medicinal concoctions and the hospital that showcases just how far modern medicine has come. Get a glimpse of life as a school kid before pen and paper, take a ‘mug shot’ at the old jail, or read some of the newsworthy stories of a bygone era at the printery. There is so much to explore!

Visitors are welcome to explore the Village in their own time on a self-guided tour. There is something for the whole family to enjoy with displays bringing back memories for many. An alternative way to experience the Village is to book a guided tour which operate Monday - Friday commencing at 10.00 am. For 90 minutes our Tour Guide will share stories of local characters and history to offer an insight into what life was really like for our early settlers.
