Captain's Cottage Museum

Captain's Cottage Museum is a small heritage museum in Murray Bridge, South Australia, located near the Murray River. Housed in a historic cottage built in 1890 for river captain Alexander Johnston, it preserves the riverboat era of the Murray River. The museum displays period furnishings, photographs, river memorabilia and local history collections managed by volunteers, illustrating the importance of paddle-steamers and river trade to the town's development.

Visitors can expect a modest single-storey historic cottage set near the Murray River at Sturt Reserve precinct. Inside are restored period rooms with original and donated furniture, household items, photographs, documents and riverboat artefacts relating to Murray River captains and early settlement. Displays are compact and interpreted with labels and volunteer guides. The exterior includes a small garden and proximity to the riverfront. Visits are typically self-guided with volunteer assistance.
