About Kalamunda History Village
Kalamunda History Village is an open-air heritage museum in Kalamunda, in the Perth Hills east of Perth, Western Australia. Operated by the Kalamunda & Districts Historical Society, it preserves and displays a collection of relocated historic buildings dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The village illustrates the timber, orcharding and railway history of the Kalamunda district and offers visitors an insight into early settler life through furnished interiors, artefacts and interpretive displays.
Visitors guide
Visitors can explore an open-air village setting with around 10 relocated heritage buildings including cottages, a school, post office, and the 1908 Upper Kalamunda railway station. Interiors are furnished with period artefacts, photographs, documents and agricultural and timber-industry equipment. The site is set among gardens with paths connecting the buildings, and volunteer guides provide interpretation of local pioneer life. Visitors can walk through buildings at their own pace or join guided tours.
