Unearth a gem at this museum

A collection that just keeps giving: The Ravensthorpe Museum is a jam-packed display of local history. The collection unearths the history of local figures from the mining and agricultural industry. Explore the collection as you climb into railway carriages and the Dance Cottage, (which is definitely not large enough to hold a dance party!) It was named, after Mr and Mrs George Dance who, in October 1900, purchased town Lot 126 and built the cottage. During wildflower season you can also pick up tips about which species to find where. Be on the lookout for the Qualup Bell (Pimelea physodes) which is endemic to the area.
