About Milang Railway Museum
The Milang Railway Museum is a volunteer-run heritage museum housed in the former Milang railway station on Daranda Terrace, Milang, on the western shore of Lake Alexandrina in South Australia. Opened in the 1884 station building after the Milang branch line closed in 1970, it preserves railway memorabilia, photographs, documents and rolling stock illustrating the region's transport and agricultural history and its former role as a river port.
