A fascinating collection of artefacts, photographs and books documenting the rich history of the Augusta-Margaret River Region. Augusta Historical Museum was established in 1979 to preserve the town's local history and to share it with others.
Displays include details of families involved in the settlement of Augusta in 1830, which was the third European settlement in Western Australia. Also showcased are artefacts from local shipwrecks, from the MC Davies timber empire (1880s to 1915), personal effects of early settlers, details of the 1920s group settlements, commemorative china, coins and medals, garments from various eras, church organs and the whale rescue events which put Augusta on world news headlines.
It is a recognised Municipal Museum under the Augusta Margaret River Shire, affiliated with the Western Australian Museum.
