Port Welshpool & District Maritime Museum
Preserving and Promoting the Port Welshpool Region
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.
​
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.
