Long before Australians drove the famous HOLDEN cars this iconic brand had its name on saddles & buggies, golf clubs, buggies and pedal cars...
trams and aero engines.
From humble beginnings as a saddlery in Adelaide the HOLDEN name quickly became synonymous with engineering innovation, industrial pride and Australian ingenuity.
The Trafalgar Holden Museum in Gippsland Victoria helps tell that remarkable story and celebrates Australia's HOLDEN Heritage.
Housed in a quaintly preserved dairy factory in Trafalgar, the museum is run by a team of volunteer enthusiasts eager to preserve our national heritage.
The dream of our late founder Neil Joiner, the Museum was created to tell the complete story of the Holden brand and covers everything from early saddllery through to the last of the Holden branded cars.
Visit the cafe, browse the gift shop and watch HOLDEN history on screen in the Bendigo Community Bank theatre.
Opened in 2014, the museum has grown every year and has new and exciting exhibits rotated every 3 months.
