The Laidley Village and Museum, established in 1972, is one of the best and first historical villages of its kind in Queensland, with a large number of dedicated local volunteers committed to preserving the history of yesteryear for today's generation through its outstanding collection of artefacts and memorabilia. As a key to the past, it preserves a variety of artefacts, re-enacts buildings for visitors to enter, and displays fascinating examples of life in a previous era.
