Tweed River Historical Museum

The Tweed River Historical Museum is located in Tumbulgum and serves as a repository for the region's colonial and maritime past. It features heritage buildings including the original 1887 general store and post office, which provide insight into the development of the northern rivers area. Visitors can examine collections that detail the importance of river transport and the cedar getting industry that once dominated the local landscape. The museum offers a factual look at how early settlers interacted with the environment and established permanent townships along the water. Situated near the significant Mount Warning, the site offers a quiet location for visitors to explore archival photographs and physical artefacts from the nineteenth century. The displays focus on the practicalities of pioneer life, from domestic tools to agricultural equipment used in the surrounding valley. It provides an essential resource for those interested in genealogical research or the specific history of the Tumbulgum township. This cultural facility maintains the tangible records of the community’s growth and its relationship with the Tweed River.
