Prospect Hill Historical Museum

The Prospect Hill Historical Museum offers visitors a unique glimpse into the past.

Built in 1872 by George T Griggs, who was the original postmaster for Prospect Hill, the Museum holds the original post office and local shop.

The building known as the Ann Russell Home, houses room settings depicting early pioneer life with a parlour, kitchen, two bedrooms and a room housing photographs.

The original 1940’s dairy shows the history of the milking industry.

The rebuilt barn houses the Ash Wednesday Bushfire Memorial, RSL/CWA/Scout exhibits. There is also a working blacksmith’s shop and the original Meadows School house.

Flag Tree Reserve houses the Engine Shed with a large collection of transport, logging and farming history and working engines.

The Prospect Hill Historical Museum is cared for by a group of volunteers and the Prospect Hill Community Association who are dedicated to the legacy wish of the Griggs family - to continue to show the history of Prospect Hill’s pioneer days.
