St Arnaud Historical Society and Museum is managed by a small group of volunteers who are dedicated to the preservation of St Arnaud and District history for future generations.

The Historical Society has a research area with access to historically significant documents, cemetery records, and artifacts from St Arnaud and surrounding areas.

St Arnaud's Historical Society and Museum located in the old Turncock's residence, next door to the old fire station which was built in 1883.

This is the oldest fire station in Victoria. Inside is the bucket and ladder cart which the firemen used to pull the equipment to the fire. The residence of the Turncock is on the left of the old fire station. When there was a fire the Turncock had to rush off and turn on the water supply before the firemen arrived.
