Description
The Kalamunda History Village is the largest folk museum in Western Australia. It depicts the unique Hills’ life and industries that developed in the area since it was first settled in the mid-1800s.
The Village sits on the site of the old Upper Darling Range Railway Station, built in the 1890s to service the Zig Zag line which transported timber from Canning Mills. The two original railway stations and platform are on the National Trust List of Heritage Places. Local heritage buildings have also been relocated to the site and faithfully decorated to show life in pioneer times, including a schoolhouse and a blacksmith’s shop.
Visitors will also discover a full size restored locomotive, a vintage fire engine, and historic farm and logging machinery.
Open 7 days a week.
