Open Day and Family Fun Day at Cooneana Heritage Centre

Come along to our Open Day at Cooneana Heritage Centre and explore the grounds and buildings.

Cooneana Heritage Centre houses six architecturally significant buildings dating from the 1860s to the1970s. The complex is home to the only specialised coal mining museum in the Ipswich area, as well as a general museum of maps, photographs, artefacts and displays depicting Ipswich’s rich history.  A WW1 exhibit entitled “Ipswich at War and the Home Front 1914 – 1918” highlights the region’s military links. A comprehensive research library with professional librarians is available to assist with your information needs.

Come along and enjoy the various displays:

Don’t forget to visit the Spinners, Weavers, Fibre Artisans of Ipswich and the Ipswich Genealogical Society
