Margaret River and Districts Historical Society

The Margaret River and District Historical Society is dedicated to collecting, preserving and cataloguing the local history of Margaret River and surrounding districts. It centers around the Old Settlement museum in Margaret River.

The buildings and displays contain a vast collection of interesting local artifacts. A movie theatre located in the blacksmith workshop shows the interesting history of group settlement in the area.

The museum holds a collection of Group Settlement artefacts, dating from 1920 and is surrounded by an extensive collection of farming implements, blacksmith tools, renovated spring carts and an old dairy and milk shed that were used during this period.

The Bramley school, the group settlement building, the blacksmith workshop and the other buildings offer an insight into the history of early life in the district during the early 1920’s and the families that once lived and worked the land.
