Highfields Pioneer Village, Museum & Park

Step back into pioneer Queensland at this sprawling living-history village.

Fifteen minutes north of the city, this volunteer-run village recreates settler life on the Darling Downs with dozens of historic buildings, machinery and a vast collection of everyday artefacts. Wander a schoolhouse, chapel, slab huts and working displays across a leafy park.

It springs fully to life on event days with steam engines, blacksmiths and craft demonstrations. Pack a picnic and give yourself a couple of unhurried hours.

Don't miss

  • Dozens of restored pioneer-era buildings
  • Vintage machinery and steam displays
  • Live demonstrations on event days
  • Picnic-friendly parkland setting
