Pioneer Settlement & Heartbeat Of The Murray Laser Spectacular, Open-air museum in Swan Hill, Australia
The Pioneer Settlement extends across a large area containing 50 replica buildings, including a Masonic hall, coach house, and photographic studio.
The museum, which opened in 1966 as Swan Hill Folk Museum, received its current name after Queen Elizabeth II visited in 1970.
The settlement maintains traditional crafts through demonstrations of blacksmithing, woodturning, and printing performed by dedicated volunteers throughout the grounds.
General admission tickets grant access for two consecutive days, with special rates for families, concessions, and free entry for children under 5.
The museum displays the first tractor brought to Australia and features two 19th-century riverboats, including the PS Gem from 1876.
