The Barcaldine Region in Queensland is home to a few notable museums that showcase the history and heritage of the area. The Barcaldine and District Historical Museum, located in the historic National Bank Building, houses an extensive collection of artifacts that epitomize the pioneering history of Barcaldine and surrounding districts. The museum features displays containing household items, machinery, photographs, and paintings from the pioneering days of the bush. Unusual items on display include a fruit cake made in the 1970s and an opium pot used by the locals. The museum also hosts miniature train rides on the last Sunday of the month during winter months.
Another attraction in the area is the Australian Workers Heritage Centre, located in Barcaldine on Oak Street. This center is spread across over two hectares of beautifully landscaped gardens surrounding a tranquil billabong and is dedicated to honoring all workers, past, present, and future. It is part of the Queensland Government's Heritage Trails Network and offers a unique insight into the working history of Australia.
Lastly, the Aramac Tramway Museum is a heritage-listed former tramway station that has been converted into a museum. The museum highlights the importance of the tramway in providing an economic and social link between Aramac and Barcaldine, especially during times of flood when the road between the two towns would be closed.
