Busselton Historical Society

The Busselton Museum, housed in the historic Old Butter Factory on Peel Terrace, officially opened its doors to the public on January 18, 1975. Prior to becoming a museum, the site operated as a state-run dairy factory that opened in 1918 and functioned until its closure in 1973. After being handed over to the local shire, the Busselton Historical Society transformed the building into the popular local heritage archive that visitors see today.
