Broadmeadows Museum Opens Five Pioneer Cemetery Tours — AI illustration

Broadmeadows Museum runs historical cemetery tours of five pioneer sites in the City of Hume under the Broadmeadows Historical Society.

The tours cover Will Will Rook, Scot’s Church, Mickleham, Donnybrook and Bulla cemeteries, with one documented run completed in 2025. These outings give direct access to settlement records that the same society maintains at the Broadmeadows Historical Museum.

Museum access and research hours

The Broadmeadows Historical Museum stays open only on Monday from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and closes Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Visitors use those limited hours to consult records on local settlement, the former Glenroy airport and the Broadmeadows military base before or after a cemetery tour.

Additional outings near Moonee Ponds Creek

Broadmeadows Valley Park and Jacana Reserve provide walking trails along Moonee Ponds Creek for families and nature enthusiasts. The Meadows greyhound racing venue adds another regular option with Group 1 races held every Wednesday afternoon and Saturday evening year-round and dining offered on Saturday nights.

Further options sit within 15 km, including URBNSURF Sports Park 4.8 km away for water sports, Calder Park Raceway 14.5 km away for motor racing and the Merri Creek Trail 14.5 km away for hiking. Residents planning visits can confirm the Monday-only museum schedule and race times listed on the venue sites before travel.
