Yarram & District Historical Museum

Housed in what was once the South Gippsland Creamery and Butter Factory Co Ltd where they processed cream, butter and other dairy products in a magnificent late-19th-century brick building on the edge of town by the banks of the Tarra River. The Creamery and Butter Factory sits on the edge of town, with an impressive facade that welcomes you to town.

Tho the factory is now closed, inside its old laboratory is the headquarters of the local historical society and its impressive collection of documents dating to the early colonial era in the 1840s, religious memorabilia from the district's deconsecrated churches, as well as recent relics from disbanded Freemasons' lodges.

The Yarram & District Historical Society has dedicated itself in the preservation of many items of historical interest, an extensive archive of local district history, ephemera and other memorabilia covering the Old Alberton Shire. The Yarram & District Historical Society has a long and distinguished history. First formed in May 1911, it was the first sub-history centre of The Royal Historical Society of Victoria to be formed in Victoria.
