This National Trust owned and run, Charters Towers Museum houses a large collection of photographs, equipment and other memorabilia that reflects Charters Towers golden past. Ask for a demonstration of the flying fox (the Lampson Aerial Cash System from the old Pollards building), this is always a favourite.
One of the most heard statements from the visitors to the Charters Towers Museum is “Oh I remember that!” The collection is full of items guaranteed to bring back a lovely memory or two.
On a more serious note, Charters Towers has a proud history from the Boer War right through to Vietnam, housed in the Charles Wallace Military display. One of the more poignant pieces from World War One is a pair of half knitted socks, abandoned when a Mum received news that her son had been killed, we have them exactly as she left them 100 years ago.
