ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We acknowledge the Dja Dja Wurrung as the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work, and we pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and their Elders, past, present and future.
Maldon District Museum and History Research Centre hold wonderful collections of artefacts, photographs and historical records which tell the stories of the Maldon District
The District Museum is open every Wednesday and Sunday from 11:30am to 2:00pm. The History Research Centre is open Fridays between 10:00am and 1:00pm by appointment only. The Museum will be closed from 31/7/2025 until 7/9/2025
Our collection was started in 1966 by the Maldon Progress, Publicity and Tourist Association, and since 1993 has been under the custodianship of Maldon Museum & Archives Association Inc.
The collection continues to grow, and our members and volunteers continue to research, document, preserve and present it in a way which helps visitors to understand the past, reflect on the present and look to the future.
Our Association is largely self-reliant. Its successful operation relies on the commitment and huge contribution of time and expertise of our many volunteers and supporters, and our income is produced from museum entrance, research fees, and membership subscriptions. From time to time grants have been received from various funding bodies for special projects, for example conservation and equipment purchases.
The district settlements covered by the collection include Baringhup, Bradford, Eaglehawk, Gowar, Maldon, Muckleford, Neereman, Nuggetty, Pollard, Ravenswood South, Sandy Creek, Shelbourne, Tarrangower, Walmer, Woodbrook (Chinaman’s Creek), parts of Eddington and Welshman’s Reef, and the Cairn Curran Reservoir construction settlement at Baringhup (1947 to 1956).
