Ipswich Historical Society

The society aims to collect, preserve, conserve, interpret, educate and display the social history of the Ipswich region and in doing so, present the region’s rich heritage in a building that meets all modern standards thus allowing equality of access to all with safe and friendly facilities.

Cooneana

As well as our aims, the objective of the Society is to restore Cooneana Homestead (circa 1868) and display artefacts and period furniture inside the house. Currently, artefacts, furniture and photographs are displayed in the museum which is housed inside the main building. These displays are being updated on a regular basis.
