Another way to glimpse life at the port in the 19th century is the local historical society museum opposite the Murray. This is based in a National Trust police station and lockup going back to 1867, and resting in the shade of mature Moreton fig trees. The collection goes into the European settlement of the Echuca-Moama area, covering the timber industry and the impact of the railway. You’ll see preserved costume, household tools and appliances, portraits, industrial machinery, police artefacts and much more. The society also takes care of the town’s archives, which includes extensive libraries of photographs, newspapers and documents recording floods and the various paddlesteamers that serve the Murray.
The museum is an incredibly under exposed gem in the Echuca port area. Insignificant when viewed from High Street once inside it opens to numerous wonderful rooms and outdoor displays packed with interesting displays which almost send the visitor into historical overload. From the establishment of Moama and Echuca with the life stories of the founders to the development of the twin towns every aspect is on display. Stories photos fashions and people, it is all there. This understated gem should be a priority as Echuca s major tourist information attraction . Dont miss it.
