The Augusta Historical Museum is the first museum to be erected in Augusta and was made possible by the efforts of the local shire and community. Its opening coincided with the 150th Anniversary celebrations in Augusta.
The Augusta Museum was erected with the support of the Shire of Augusta/Margaret River, the Tourist Bureau, Augusta Historical Society members and townspeople. The Leeuwin Lions Club also offered both financial and voluntary support for the completion of the building and preparation of grounds. The museum was completed in late 1979 and officially opened I January 1980 by the then former Governor of Australia, Sir Paul Hasluck.
