Clyde Historical Museums Inc

Clyde is blessed with excellent museums. We strongly recommend that you visit them all!
The Clyde Historical Museums Inc has 2 sites at 5 Blyth St and 12 Fraser St. The museums are run by a committee and staffed in part by volunteers.
The first museum began in 1879 with a collection given by Mr. Vincent Pyke, the administrator of the Dunstan Goldfields.
The collection, gathered from his travels, is still in the Blyth Street museum, opposite the Post Office Café. Once the Vincent County Council Chambers the museum now houses family histories, photos, relics and stories of the early gold mining time.
The recently restored Clyde Railway station is now also a museum housing railway artifacts.
