Samford District Historical Museum — Attraction in Greater Brisbane

We had such a wonderful visit on Sunday! The volunteers were so welcoming, friendly and informative and we were able to learn so much more as they wandered around, chatting and engaging with visitors. My 2.5 year old had an absolute blast- her favourite places were the old school building (where she got to sit at the teacher’s desk and ring the old school bell) and the collection of old telephones that have been painstakingly looked after and actually work (you can call each other from across the room). The volunteers have worked tirelessly to create such an amazing historical village, it really feels like you have wandered back in time. Every item tells its own story and has been cared for with love. My favourite parts were the schoolhouse, original cottage and the vintage toy museum. Such a delight for history buffs and anyone really. We will be back! Thank you for making our visit to Samford Valley so...

A delightful day and well worth seeing, I highly...

I really enjoyed my time here very enriching no hesitation for a 5-star review. A must...
