Wilmot Historic Museum Wilmot Museum houses items, records and artefacts of the early pioneers of the Wilmot region from the 1890's until the present time.

The Wilmot collection is a source of knowledge, stories, memories and identity. It is developed and managed as a community resource to inspire, educate and inform the community and to contribute to the preservation and interpretation of the history of the Wilmot district. Wilmot is located 38 kms south of Devonport on the road to Cradle Mountain and is also known as the Valley of the Views. The Wilmot Museum is a project of the Wilmot Tourist and Progress Association and is staffed entirely by volunteers from the local community. The Wilmot Museum is open 5 days a week from Wednesday to Sunday from 10 am - 3pm during the summer months. It is also available to be open by appointment for groups on other days.

Lest we Forget.

111 years ago, at first light on the 25 April 1915, Australian and New Zealand troops landed at ANZAC Cove in Gallipoli, facing their first major battle of World War I. They fought with endurance, courage, ingenuity, good humour, and mateship – what we’ve come to know as the ANZAC Spirit.

On ANZAC Day, we honour their legacy and that of all who have followed in their footsteps.

They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest We Forget.

ANZAC Day can also be a challenging time for Veterans and their families. Support is available.

For those needing urgent assistance, help is available via Open Arms on 1800 011 046 (24 hrs) and Lifeline on 13 11 14 (24 hrs).
