Welcome to Beechworth Heritage, the operating name of Beechworth History and Heritage Society. Ours is an incorporated not-for-profit community organisation.

We work for the public benefit on the lands of the Dhudhuroa Waywurru people to advance knowledge, education and appreciation of the history and cultural heritage of Baarmutha, Beechworth, Hurdle Creek, Murmungee, Silver Creek, Stanley, Woolshed and Wooragee: communities in postcode district 3747.

We engage across our community and advocate to ensure this legacy is protected and awareness of its continuing value is maintained and interpreted for future generations.

We'd welcome your participation and support.

Please note, this website is being redeveloped. Our new site will be online later in September 2026.
