Boort Court House Museum
The Boort Court House Museum, which is run by the Boort Historical Society, is located in the Old Court House which was built in 1890.
The museum specialises in family histories with many photographs, and the preservation of historical documents and artifacts.
The museum houses a collection of hundreds of items of local importance from aboriginal artifacts through to the Pioneers memorabilia and agricultural tools, many of which were hand made out of necessity.
The collection includes beaded and embroidered items of clothing from the 1880's through to a complete wedding gown trousseau from 1935.
Brownlow Medalist John Schultz was a Boort boy and has kindly donated to our Museum the last pair of boots he wore when playing VFL for Footscray.
We have Japanese invasion money which was brought back from Darwin by some of our soldiers.
There is also a display of antique machinery used in the district at Boort Park, 35 Malone Street, Boort.
Next to the Court House is the old Boort jail.
Opening Hours:
The Museum is open each Friday from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm and at other times by appointment. It is manned by a small but dedicated team of volunteers.
