Samford District Historical Society Museum - History Museums on Waymarking.com

The Samford District Historical Society has been in operation from approx 1977 collecting information and anecdotes about the Samford Valley and surrounding areas.

This museum, which has grown around the site of the old Samford Railway Station, first opened in 1986. Various buildings from the area have been relocated to the site and all have been lovingly restored to reflect the period they came from.

There is an abundant amount of information available here, including district maps dating to 1864, as well as family anecdotes, information about the traditional aboriginal tribes that once inhabited the area, logging and farming and rail activities.
