This cluster of buildings on Murray Esplanade gives visitors a glimpse into what life was like here in the 1870s. Red gum timber was the main industry – it was used to power the paddle-steamers that travelled the inland river system, and to build bridges, railways and buildings. The original sawmill has been restored into a working exhibit, alongside pumps and steam engines, offering insights into these historic technologies. The old cargo shed has been transformed into a space for kids to don costumes and play games that explore the history of Echuca and its port. Entry is free.
