The Museum has been operating for nearly 50 years and houses in excess of 22,000 items of local significance, including photographs and documents relating to mining, forestry, and dairying, and town, school and family histories of Goomeri, Kilkivan, Widgee and Woolooga.
The Museum also houses a magnificent mineral collection of approximately 5,000 specimens. This mineral collection was a lifetime achievement of Paul Stumm, who was a descendant of the Stumm family who had a connection to the original “Gympie Times”. Our volunteers are also available to carry out research into family history.
