The Beechworth Historic Precinct is a collection of nationally significant buildings telling the story of how Australia grew and prospered. Within the precinct, visitors will find the Beechworth Courthouse, Burke Museum, Telegraph Station, and Powder Magazine.

The Beechworth Courthouse is currently home to the Kelly Trials Exhibition. The Kelly Trials Exhibition provides an immersive 270-degree, wrap around multimedia experience, telling the stories of crime and punishment, governance and law, and bushranger Ned Kelly.

The Burke museum boasts a fascinating and historically significant collection of more than 30,000 individual items and some linked to famous figures of history such as Dame Nellie Melba and Robert O’Hara Burke. Highlights include an extensive collection of Chinese, Goldmining and Natural History artefacts and the 19th century Street of Shops.

Built in 1858, the Telegraph Station once linked the town to the outside world through the medium of Morse code.
