History can reveal a lot of things, but who would have known that a summer visit to Herberton Historic Village would disclose a relative? And a local wood-chopping champion at that! If the current world seems too fast for you, then take a detour to the Tablelands and go back to a more gentle time; a time when the local... More

If you are into history then this place is well worth a visit. There are heaps of restored old building from all over the surrounding area with lots more still being put together to add to the site. All of the buildings have collections inside them. It's like looking back in time. We spent 2.5 hours there and could have... More

We spent an hour or so at the historic village and had quick an enjoyable time. Some parts are better than others but there was a real lack of interpretative information so that some of the buildings were just filled with stuff on the theme, without much thought as to what was good and what detracted from the display.

Today I went to Herberton Historic Village and it was absoutelt fantastic. I spent three hours there with two of my children aged 13 and 11 and they were blown away with everything. One of my sons took over 100 photos and would have taken heaps more if I allowed him. It must be one of the cleanest tourist attractions... More

We had heard of the Herberton Historical village but had always envisaged it as a small rather dull affair. How pleasantly wrong we were!! The quantity and quality of the displays and their setting is first class. This is clearly a labour of love by a dedicated group of passionate individuals. It also is warming to see items that you...
