Trafalgar Holden Museum

For car lovers of all ages, a visit to the Trafalgar Holden Museum is a must. This incredible museum celebrates the heritage of Australia’s much loved Holden, long before this famous brand started rolling cars off the production line.

See original horse-drawn buggies, pedal cars, trams and aero engines alongside a rich collection of vintage cars, utes and motorsport vehicles.

This huge collection housed inside the old Trafalgar Butter Factory will take you through a detailed history of this iconic Australian brand, including some very rare and customised vehicles, a room full of immaculate Monaros, concept cars that never quite made it to production, all the way up to the very last modern Holden to roll off the line in Australia - all meticulously labelled with historic information.

The obsession continues beyond the factory floor to the rest of the buildings and exhibitions out the back, extending your experience of the ultimate Holden discovery.

Even if you are not a car fanatic, you will be surprised at just how much you’ll learn from the many exhibits, well beyond the impact this manufacturing giant had on the
Australian car industry. The stories here go right back to the company’s beginnings as a saddlery maker in 1859, and the museum is packed with all kinds of memorabilia, including fantastic examples of military items chronicling Holden's crucial role in manufacturing during war times.

It is obvious to anyone entering that there is passion and love behind this extensive collection.

Owner and President, Neil Joiner, originally opened the museum in 2014 to house his own private collection of heritage Holdens after he ran out of room in his shed, and with a lot of hard work restoring the building, and attracting over 60 passionate volunteers today, this not-for-profit organisation has quickly grown to become one of the largest car museums in Australia.

Admission fees apply and group bookings are welcome.
