The Mount Morgan Historical Museum houses a unique collection of early mining equipment from the famous Mount Morgan Gold Mine. Many household objects were also used during the town's heyday, dating back to the late nineteenth century. The Mount Morgan Gold Mine was one of the world's richest gold mines and significantly contributed significantly to Queensland's and Australia's economies.
The museum also contains over 600 historic photographs that depict the development of the mine and the town. The photographs illustrate the lives of the miners at work and the community's social, religious, cultural and educational aspects. There is much to see and experience in this fascinating museum.
Gifts and souvenirs are also available.
