Interested in the history of Daylesford? Daylesford Museum's latest fascinating exhibition, Plotted, is a must-see. It showcases many hand-drawn maps, surveyor plans, and photographs related to civic development, which were created during the early 1860s and remaining half of the 19th century.

Local Government employed engineers and surveyors to define roadways, bridges, drainage, municipal buildings, and more. The exhibition includes early street maps indicating where huts, houses, and mining shafts were located. The plans for timber bridges over the region's waterways are almost works of art.

Daylesford Museum is home to the largest archive of historical artefacts and documents in the Central Highlands. Don't miss this fascinating exhibition.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
