About Us

The Gloucester District Historical Society Inc operates the Gloucester Museum which contains material of historical significance to the district. The collection and preservation of photographic records, memorabilia and archival material dates back to 1826 when Gloucester and surrounding towns were named by the Australian Agricultural Company's Agent Mr. Robert Dawson soon after his arrival. Friendly staff are on hand to assist in providing a most enjoyable experience down memory lane for a small entry fee. Bus groups visiting Gloucester are welcome and are offered personalised guided tours of the Museum and/or the district at a time convenient to you.
