The Yankalilla Historical Museum is a must visit attraction in the Fleurieu Coast and we are constantly told by visitors it is the best rural museum in South Australia.
Exhibitions include a real church relocated from Inman Valley, an early settlers’ cottage, a blacksmith shop, a nursery shop, multiple sheds of farm machinery and much more. They have displays on the farming, mining, and maritime histories of the area as well as a range of memorabilia and photographs depicting early life in the district.
