Brooweena Historical Village and Museum
The Brooweena Historical Village provides a fascinating glimpse of the past with its tranquil rural setting in the center of the township of Brooweena, approximately 50 kilometers west of Maryborough.

European settlement began in 1849 with the Teebar and Gigoomgan pastoral properties.

The railway opened in 1889 under the name Teebar, before being renamed Brooweena (meaning 'crab' or 'crayfish' in local Indigenous language) in 1890.

A butcher shop and the stationmaster’s cottage were built in the 1890s to support the railway and local workers.

The town became the seat of local governance when the Woocoo Shire office was constructed in 1915 (the building is now housed in the museum complex)

Talbot Lahey opened the town's major timber sawmill in 1924, which sustained the local economy for decades until modern safety changes and upgrades forced its closure in 2013.
This charming historical village at Brooweena has an extensive array of memorabilia, equipment, musical instruments and aboriginal rock carvings, housed in a collection of 12 heritage buildings in a tranquil setting.
The complex includes a blacksmith's shop, butcher shop, wash house, original 1915 Council Office and an authentic rustic barn with a collection of bullock and horse drawn vehicles.
There is an original settler's slab dwelling (Kid Hut) with detached kitchen, dairy shed, former C.W.A. rooms, the old Brooweena railway goods shed, & railway station as well as an old train carriage, there is also a school and church display. There is a picnic area available, & also undercover seating/tables in the catering area.
