Queensland Prisons Museum

Oct 14, 2015 0 comments

The Queensland Prisons Museum is located in the Caboolture Historical Village, and is curated by members of the Boggo Road Gaol Historical Society.

Housed inside a former Police Station and featuring two historic timber lock-up cells, this museum focusses on the history of the prison system in Queensland. It features some of the unique artefacts collected by the BRGHS, and is a great crowd favourite when BRGHS volunteers share their experience by giving entertaining talks and demonstrations inside the museum.
