Museum

Housed in the original Donnelly River School, the Museum contains a range of information and materials that help to share the history of Donnelly River Village and Mill.

With funding from the WA Heritage Council, the Friends of Donnelly Village Inc have recently installed an interactive touch screen. This allows visitors to view photos and videos of Donnelly Village when it was still an active mill town.

The Museum is open every day – just ask for the key at the General Store. Entry is free.
