Creswick Museum is housed in the grand Creswick Town Hall complex, which was constructed in 1876 and added to the National Trust Heritage Register in 1971. The interior of the building is worth the visit alone for its magnificent staircase constructed of local basalt.

The building is a wonderful setting to browse the extensive collection of rare colonial paintings, artworks by Victor Litherland and the Lindsay family of artists, gold mining artefacts, and items related to the evolution of local government in the region.

The museum also holds a significant collection of historical documents, including newspapers, maps, books, and the personal papers of former residents who spent time researching the town's history.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
