Gympie Gold Mining and Historical Museum

The town of Gympie has an important and colourful history, from being cited as the “Town that saved Queensland from Bankruptcy” to being the home of Andrew Fisher, Labor’s second Prime Minister.

Everybody is invited to visit our Museum where you can find out just how Gympie saved Queensland and discover more of the region’s past and present. The Museum houses a vast collection of documentation, artifacts and photographs dating from the discovery of gold in 1867 by James Nash to the recently closed  operations of the Gympie Eldorado Goldmine.
