Highfields Pioneer Village

A wonderful place full of history. So many buildings to walk in and explore. As a family we all had a great time. And particularly loved the fire museum. Enjoyed some lovely Billy tea and damper for $8 Overall a wonderful experience. Just check open hours of tours to ensure you get the most of the experience

​A Remarkable Journey Through Time at Highfields Pioneer Village ​Rating: 5/5 Stars - Highly Recommended ​My recent visit to Highfields Pioneer Village was truly one of the best historical experiences I've had. This place is an absolute treasure trove, masterfully capturing an incredible amount of Australian pioneer history. ​The sheer volume and authenticity of the historical buildings, machinery, and detailed collections are remarkable. It feels less like a museum and more like stepping directly back into the 19th and early 20th centuries. From the heritage chapel and slab cottage to the specialized museums, every corner is rich with stories waiting to be discovered. The dedication of the volunteers who maintain and operate this non-profit village is evident in the perfect condition of the relics. ​My top recommendation for any visitor is to allow a generous amount of time. We found that 2 to 3 hours is the perfect amount of time to properly walk around, read the displays, and fully appreciate the wealth of history captured here. Rushing through would be a disservice to the experience. ​Whether you're a history enthusiast, an antique machinery lover, or a family looking for an engaging and educational day out, Highfields Pioneer Village offers an immersive and unforgettable glimpse into the past. Don't miss the chance to explore this truly authentic slice of heritage!

A fantastic place and absolutely worth the trip. Wonderful people who lovingly care for this piece of Australian history. Highly recommended for all ages.

So much to see and read cool vintage cars really need a full day to check out everything

I found this pioneer village to be enjoyable, as it brings back some great memories by looking into the past. Allow 2-3 hours to visit the place. The place is run by volunteers who are all so welcoming, informative, and ready to answer any questions you have.

Amazing little gem here. Hubby and I stopped here to have a look, I am so glad we did. Interesting place with a lot of history here. The place itself is 90% wheelchair and pram friendly. There are also non-powered sites here for the cost of a ticket, you can stay for a night and take your time to walk around and see everything here. The Pioneer Village is on 20 acres with 70 buildings to go through and look at. The staff was very friendly and helpful with all the info about the village. There is something here for everyone. I highly recommend going to have a look 🙂🙂.

Great buildings and loved seeing the Big Cow(haven't seen for 50 yrs)..Stopped for damper and Billy tea which both were delicious..Only disappointed as the museum's were closed..Also as I have a walker was a bit hard in some spots to get over..But overall was very interesting for a history buff.
