King Cottage Museum

Take a look back into Bunbury history

Description

For all the local history visit King Cottage which is located five minutes from the City Centre.

Inside you will see costumes and linen, photography equipment and photos, documents and books. Outside see vehicles, machinery and tools, laundry equipment and maritime items.

King Cottage was built around 1880 by Henry King and was owned by his family until 1923 when it was sold to the Carlson family. In 1966 it was purchased by the City of Bunbury and subsequently leased to the Bunbury Historical Society. The rooms of the cottage are furnished to fit the period from the 1880s to the 1920s. The artefacts displayed are part of the Society’s collection reflecting the way of life for a family in Bunbury during that period. The most recent display is of Military uniforms and memorabilia dating back to the 1800′s.

Open between 2.00pm to 4.00pm daily. Entry Fees apply.
