Visit Historic Village Herberton

I'll be coming back to enjoy another day here... very informative about our history. The staff are fantastic people.

Beautifully restored and presented shops. Beautiful grounds. Very interesting. Blacksmith demonstration was great

Historic Village Herberton is well worth the drive and the entry fee! A true testament to what time, dedication, belief and plenty of hard work can achieve, HVH is an amazing journey into the township's past. You will discover many slices of early Australian life, including the classroom, barber, dentist, policing, military/war, agriculture, automotive, mining, and so much more! There's a treasure trove of amazing artefacts, laid out across 16 acres of property. We wandered around, both learning and reminiscing, for close to three hours. The time flew and we genuinely enjoyed ourselves. I highly recommend HVH to both young and old; there's so much to see and do, and it's great value for money. On an aside, there are also on-site options for meals and drinks, if required. 5 stars all the way!

Best historic village in Australia

This is a gem of a place to visit. It is most definitely a day tour even though your ticket gives you a 3 day pass to come back and finish tour. I highly recommend a visit in history.

Fabulous. Amazing array of historical buildings. Could have spent longer exploring.

The Blacksmith was excellent and the exhibits were wonderful

Love it

Absolutely brilliant, a must do and allow all day, so much history and stuff to read

Over 50 buildings, each with a specialist collection. Can easily spend 3 days absorbing whatever you are interested in.

Leuk museum voor alle leeftijden. Ook lekkere versnaperingen in het sfeervolle restaurant.

This place is so amazing 4 hours interesting. Informative. Well laid out great value for money.

Un voyage dans le passé avec ce village historique conservé "dans son jus", témoignage d'un début de 20e siècle. Magnifiquement tenu, un vrai musée grandeur nature. Très recommandé.

Very interesting, scenic ‘village’ with something for everyone. Have been several times and always take my guests here. Dog friendly as well.

Ein tolles, liebevoll gestaltetes Museum. Hier kann man locker den ganzen Tag verweilen.

Absolutely fabulous family day exploring We enjoyed it so much, we returned the next day to see the steam engines, tractor and cars running and ride the steam train 🚂 There is so much history here to see and explore The damper and tea at the pioneer village was excellent, both days Thanks heaps to all the volunteers who keep this excellent place running

Excellent displays full of historical household items and many mechanical wonders, the blacksmith is quite interesting too.

To see everything you need 2 days

Absolutely amazing. So much to see and be impressed by

I have been to Herberton but this was my first time visiting the Historic Village precinct. What a wonderful surprise it was. Definitely the best historic village I have visited in Australia. Well set out, lots of variety of buildings and the artefacts on display are extensive and interesting. A must visit when in North Queensland.

Lots to see

What a fantastic collection of everything. We were astonished at the volume of items wonderfully displayed in every building we entered and the live demos, motors running, movie presentation, and bush camp meals completed the experience. We spent 6hrs there and it was barely long enough. The entry ticket is good for 3 days so take your time if you can. Congratulations and thank you to the owners and staff of this priceless gem.

The best historical village I have ever been to. Highly recommend.

Best openair museum i have been so far , so many old things to see and a good insight of the history of the area . Could watched and listened for hours the blacksmith. Awesome dude!

Spectacular. Hats off to the owner for creating this meander through history. It's so well done and the maintenance does not go unnoticed. The price is super reasonable considering we spent 8 hours there and had the option the come back and visit on the same ticket. We were fortunate to get a ride on the steam train, with a chance to pull the train horn and get photos on the engine car. This was an added $20 expense but totally worth it, and very reasonable, considering all the train staff are volunteers. This is my third visit and every time, I've found something new and exciting to look at. Will definitely visit again.

One of the best historic museums I've visited. Lots to see. Well worth a look

Been here many time .....Love it! So much to see and discover.

We just happened upon this place while driving past, and then as an added bonus found it was not only dog-friendly, but dog-welcoming. We spent most of the day here, exploring each house, watching the informative video, having a lovely lunch and just enjoying ourselves. Highly recommended

Absolutely Fabulous - must be best collection of so many variations of our past in one location - the employees are on-hand & work the items with great knowledge

Had an amazing day here. The blacksmith display was informative and fun. The smithy was engaging and very clever. Totally recommend the campfire kitchen across the bridge for lunch. Very tasty. Will be back for sure

One day is not enough to appreciate this place. We will definitely go back.

Lovely outdoor setting. Some walking. Lots of nostalgia for seniors and novelty for kids. Half hour documentary worth watching, but cinema building hard to get to. Nice, limited food options in cafe. Not all exhibits run on weekdays. Check if you are bringing kids. We didn't. Need at least 2 hours to enjoy it all.

Exceptional- the displays are incredible, with so many items. The staff were lovely, the steam train tour was well worth it. The gentleman doing to wanted posters was fantastic, very informative and was great explaining things to the kids. Definitely a to do list- allow 2 days if you can as they will give you a pass to return 3 consecutive days. Exceeded our expectations. Keep up the fantastic work!

Absolutely fantastic, allow all day. So much to see and everything is very well looked after. Highly recommend taking the time and effort to see this.

Highly recommend a visit here

Could stay here for days .
