For over 30 years the City of Logan has had a place to hold memories and show off to visitors what it was like in Logan when it was first founded and how it has changed as time passes.

Logan City Historical Museum can be found in the recently revamped Kingston Butter Factory precinct where a group of volunteers keep the doors open for all to enjoy.

The Museum tells the story of the founding settlement and development of Logan City from 1826 to the present day. The central role of the museum is to preserve Logan’s past for the future.

Themes within the museum include farming, mining, timber, small industry, railway, schools, and both world wars. There are a lot of items and historical information about the butter factory including tools that were found in the walls during the renovation.

Many of the displays have notes that tell all about the items and this helps to understand what they were once used for. Many of the items most would have only been seen in photos or books, so to get up close and personal is treat.

A few of the displays are interactive. There is an old piano that the volunteers encourage visitors to play, even if you are not musically talented. They also have old phones, quills, old irons and more that allow visitors to hold and feel.

While the museum is not that large, there is a lot of history from all over the city in the building with much to be learned from a visit.

The Logan City Historical Museum is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10:30am to 3pm and is $2 per adult, $1 for seniors and children under 16 are free.
