Australiana Pioneer Village, Heritage-listed open-air museum in Wilberforce, Australia

The Australiana Pioneer Village spans across 28 acres of grounds, featuring over 20 historical buildings relocated from various locations in New South Wales.

Bill McLachlan established the village between 1969 and 1970 to preserve local heritage buildings that were facing demolition during a period of rapid development.

The complex includes Rose Cottage, recognized as the oldest timber dwelling in Australia, along with a church, blacksmith shop, post office, and railway station.

The village opens every Sunday, plus Tuesdays and Wednesdays during New South Wales school holidays, with special arrangements available for educational groups.

Visitors can participate in traditional 1800s school lessons at Marsden Park School and experience the Pioneer Express Train rides through the historical grounds.
