"I was blown away with all the history they have compiled together in one site. It really is a great experience and one I will be sharing with family and friends for a "must see" tourist destination. Congratulations to all the people who created this and work here"

The Beaconsfield Mine and Heritage Centre is a place where you can lose yourself in history, play with treasures from the past and embark on a historical journey to a place where life is simple. The time before computers were invented, when machinery and hard labour were how 'things got done', where genuine smiles welcome you, and strangers take time to chat. At the Beaconsfield Mine and Heritage Centre history is alive, and gold is under your feet...

The interpretive displays will engage, educate or remind you of how life used to be.  Many of the pieces in the centre are there for your enjoyment, displays to touch, buttons to push, leavers to pull, tunnels to crawl through and animals to search for. While you lose yourself in the nostalgia, chat with the locals and experience the excitement and realities of the elusive hunt for gold.

View the Beaconsfield mine in a different light, using a 3D digitalised model, interactive screens and holograms that allow you to explore the depths of an underground mine from within the museum. The realistic hologram image of Todd Russell greets you to explain the miners' lingo. The display has mastered the use of sight, sound and emotion - this is one attraction not to be missed.
We like to think that the Heritage Centre is a collection of experiences allowing you to enjoy and appreciate the history of Beaconsfield and the Tamar Valley.

We invite you, your family and friends, to come and play with our history!
