The Crows Nest Historical Village has over 20 buildings from the local district and packed full of local history and memorabilia.
The homestead at the front of the museum, Carbethon House, was built in the 1880s and was relocated to Crows Nest in 1978 as a folk museum, the start of the historical village.
Ray White, the now large real estate chain across the country, started in Crows Nest. The original Ray White Auctioneer building is on the grounds, along with his son’s home, Alan White who took over the real estate business.
Many of the buildings are set out along a small street of sorts, leading from Carbethon House. There is a replica of a one teacher school, slab hut, blacksmith’s shop, and a shed filled with various machinery.
The museum is next to a large open park, with a decent playground, skate park, and a BMX bike dirt track.
The museum was originally called the Folk Museum and Pioneer Village but has since been renamed to Crows Nest Historical Village.
