Augusta Historical Museum

Get directions

Inside this comprehensive Museum you will find stories of tragedy, lucky escapes, success, hard work, bravery and resilience. In May 1830, the Brig “Emily Taylor” brought the Bussell, Molloy and Turner families here to carve out a life for themselves and future generations. Through its displays, the Museum tells the stories of these original settlers, as well as the maritime history, the timber industry, Group Settlement, and the much more recent history of community efforts to save whales which have beached themselves along the coast.
