With its collection of heritage-listed buildings dating back to the late 1800s, the Townsville Heritage Centre presents special insight into the lives of workers, wealthier businessmen, and professionals in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Established by the Townsville Branch of the then National Trust of Queensland in 1978, the Heritage Centre is quintessential Townsville heritage.

Please note that the Townsville Heritage Centre is currently closed due to ongoing maintenance work. It is expected to reopen in the coming months.

If you’re looking for things to do in Townsville, you can explore the tropical Townsville gardens and take a guided tour of the two historical buildings which are open to the public. Both buildings are from the same era, the 1880s, however, represent two quite different strata of society from that time.
