Brennan & Geraghty's Store Museum
The remarkable store that time forgot! This heritage-listed grocery store operated in Maryborough for over 100 years before closing its doors with everything inside. The shop contains a collection of more than 100,000 items, all preserved in original condition. After many painstaking years of restoration, the store was opened as a museum by the National Trust and is open to the public seven days a week at 62-66 Lennox Street, Maryborough.
Brennan and Geraghty's Store Museum
George Seymour, Mayor of the Fraser Coast, visits the unique and special National Trust historic site of Brennan and Geraghty's Store Museum in Maryborough. Walking into the store is liking stepping back in time.
