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.

Highlights of our Heritage

Old Beenleigh Post Office

The post office formed an integral part of the community in the early days as it was the mail exchange for the whole region. The Beenleigh Post Office was originally located on James Street, approximately where the National Bank stands today. All telegrams were sent from this building.

One Teacher School

The Loganholme One Teacher School arrived at the Beenleigh Historical Village in 2009. This building was built in 1873 and served the local children of the area until 1972. It was then used at the Queensland University of Technology Kelvin Grove Campus. It is a working classroom for visiting classes from local schools where they experience what schooling was like in the old days.
