Welcome to the
Port Welshpool & District Maritime Museum website

The Port Welshpool & District Maritime Museum is run by a volunteer committee delegated by the Shire of South Gippsland Council.

It aims to preserve and promote the rich history of the Port Welshpool region.

Museum House

The building that houses the smaller artifacts of the collection was designed and built by John Avery in 1881 for W.B.M. Smith.

Being the first large home in the village, it became the unofficial community centre; conducting dances, weddings, church services and even a wine salon.
