The Dead Finish Museum

The Beverley Historical Society was formed by volunteers in 1987 to  foster the safe keeping and promotion of Beverley`s Heritage.
The society operates from the Dead Finish Museum in Hunt Road Beverley. As the oldest building in Beverley, the “Wheatsheaf Inn” was built by Alfred Smith in 1872.
It now houses a very fine collection of artifacts depicting life in Beverley since settlement in 1831.
​
Our current major display is the “REMEMBERING THEM EXHIBITION” – a wonderful centenary tribute to all those Beverley people who served or helped with the World War I effort.
 
MEETINGS: held at the Dead Finish Museum at 1.30pm on the 2nd Monday of each month between March and December. New members are always most welcome.
MUSEUM HOURS: every Sunday from 11am to 3pm from
mid-March to November and at any other time requested. ADMISSION: $2 adult and children with adult free.

The Museum

The Beverley Historical Society has preserved the lifestyle of yesteryear within the museum. The many rooms are filled with memorabilia, tools and equipment used in the days of early settlers.   

Special Exhibits

Almost one hundred years after some of Beverley’s young men faced the horror of the battles at Gallipoli, descendants & other family members welcomed the opportunity to inspect the Beverley Historical Society’s exhibition ‘Remembering THEM’.

Working Together

Volunteers from the Beverley Tree and Garden Society assist our group by maintaining the beautiful gardens that surround the Dead Finish Museum.
