Heritage & Museums
Discover Griffith’s pioneer history
Griffith was proclaimed a town in 1916, a little more than one hundred years of history and heritage to explore. Take a step back in time and truly experience this period at one of our museums including the Pioneer Park Museum, Griffith Italian Museum, and the Irrigation and Wine Museum.
To get a glimpse of the social history linked to operations of ex-servicemen, women and their families from Griffith, along with military items on display, a visit to the Griffith War Memorial Museum should not be missed.
The Griffith Italian Heritage trail takes you on a tour of places that tell the story of the Italian settlement in Griffith. Some of these places no longer exist, while others have changed title. Collectively, they document the enduring legacy of Italian migration in Griffith’s landscape. Pick up a trail map from the Griffith Visitor Information Centre.
