Tressie's Museum & Caravan Park, Heritage museum and caravan park in Karlgarin, Western Australia
Tressie's Museum is located in Karlgarin and combines exhibition galleries filled with regional artifacts alongside a spacious recreational vehicle park set in the rural landscape of Kondinin Shire. The collection includes farming equipment, household items, and photographs that document the area's agricultural heritage.
The museum was established to preserve the stories of farming communities that developed across multiple generations in the region. It serves as a record of how agricultural life shaped the Wheatbelt and the families who built these communities.
Local residents have contributed personal objects and stories to the museum collection over time, creating a living record of daily life in the Wheatbelt region. These items show the deep connection between families and the land they worked.
The site provides powered parking sites for recreational vehicles, clean bathroom facilities, drinking water stations, and direct access to regional walking trails. It is easy to navigate and offers comfortable overnight stays for visitors exploring the surrounding countryside.
The museum curator maintains detailed records for each artifact, documenting donor family names and their connections to specific farming properties in the area. This careful documentation turns each piece into a personal link between visitors and the families who lived there.
