Artifacts
Many artifacts are displayed in the Museum, ranging from the early Indigenous people's tools, through to Brenda's penny farthing bicycle!
The display concentrates on the lifestyle and activities of the district's early settlers, the timber getters, the Chinese population, the trail of the packer through the rainforest and other pioneers who made their new life in the Mulgrave area. Also there's a special display of items for the home that was in days before electricity, in honour of the womenfolk who toiled to support their family. Items of War from men who fought in WW1 and WW2 and from the days when the American 503rd Parachute Regiment arrived in Gordonvale for training.
