Agnes Water Museum

Dive Into Local History

Explore the fascinating history of Agnes Water and its twin towns at the Agnes Water Museum. Discover the stories behind the area’s name, Captain Cook’s Endeavour Voyage, maritime exploration, and the iconic Bustard Head Lighthouse. The museum also showcases Aboriginal artefacts, a remarkable mineral and fossil collection, and an extensive photographic archive.

The museum is divided into two unique sections: one focusing on the region’s rich maritime history and the other housed in the restored original building, displaying everyday artifacts from bygone eras, including table settings, irons, typewriters, and telephones.

A highlight for young visitors is the certificate they receive for completing their visit, making it a fun and educational stop for families.
