Busselton Museum

Busselton Museum is a community history museum housed in the heritage-listed Old Butter Factory on Peel Terrace in Busselton, Western Australia, about 230 km south of Perth. Operated by the Busselton Historical Society, it preserves artefacts relating to pioneering, agricultural, timber, whaling and Group Settlement history of the South West. Notable for its 1930s butter factory building and extensive local collections, it documents the development of the Busselton district.

Visitors can expect a heritage butter factory building with multiple indoor rooms and outdoor displays. Inside are collections of domestic items, agricultural machinery, timber industry tools, photographs, documents and Group Settlement memorabilia. The setting is on the edge of central Busselton near the Vasse River, with lawn surrounds and historic machinery outside. Volunteer guides are often available to explain exhibits and visitors can explore at their own pace through themed rooms.

Housed in the former Busselton Butter Factory constructed in 1930, which operated as a butter factory until the early 1960s. The building is heritage-listed and was repurposed in 1975 by the Busselton Historical Society as a museum to preserve artefacts from early European settlement, the Group Settlement Scheme of the 1920s, and the region's timber, dairy and agricultural industries.

Operated by the Busselton Historical Society with volunteers, the museum preserves and interprets the social history of the Busselton district and South West region, serving as a community archive and educational resource for local heritage.
