Pioneer Settlement, Living history museum in Swan Hill, Australia.
The Pioneer Settlement encompasses multiple historical buildings along the Little Murray River, featuring authentic structures from the 1850s through early 1900s.
The settlement preserves the heritage of European settlers who established communities in the Murray-Mallee region during the nineteenth century agricultural expansion.
Daily demonstrations of traditional crafts occur throughout the site, with artisans practicing blacksmithing, woodturning, and printing using period-specific tools and methods.
Visitors can purchase two-day passes that include access to all exhibits, vintage car rides, horse-drawn carriage tours, and river cruises on the PS Pyap.
The settlement transforms after sunset with the Heartbeat of the Murray show, combining laser projections and water effects to narrate the region's development.
