Inside the Village
The Beenleigh Historical Village and Museum and its Hidden Treasures
More than an historical museum, you will be surprised by what you’ll find once you step inside the village. The Village Cafe will welcome you with good old-fashioned service and hearty home-style food as you overlook the glorious gardens of the village. The art gallery, “Gallery in the Corridor” is filled with many artworks from local artists that are available for purchase. Both the cafe and gallery are open to the public.
