At History House, 11 Mackenzie St, Bendigo, we have a community museum with free entry. The museum is open Thursdays and Saturdays from 11am-2pm (closed from December 13 2025 - January 31 2026).

Join a Tour or Talk

We plan a public program of walks and talks each year. Our free history talks are held quarterly at the Latrobe Art Institute. Our monthly paid walking tours are extremely popular often selling out in advance.
