Pioneer Museum

The museum is located 405 kilometres north of Perth along the Brand Highway and just 19 kilometres south of Geraldton. This area of the Midwest is known as the Greenough Front Flats and is a unique landscape (look out for the famous leaning trees) encapsulating its history and rural activities.

The Greenough Pioneer Museum is a carefully restored two storey homestead set in beautiful, shady gardens. The homestead was built between 1862 and 1880 for John Maley, miller, storekeeper, hotel proprietor, entrepreneur and father of 14 children.

Maley was known locally as the King of the Flats. His wife, Elizabeth was the daughter of the first German migrants to Western Australia. The atmosphere of their era is recreated in 11 rooms of the homestead. The award winning collection includes original furnishings, hand made lacework, musical instruments, clothing, children's toys and items of everyday use.
