Beechworth Gold is housed in the beautiful former 'Bank of Victoria' built in 1861. During the gold rush of the 1850s all the gold discovered was assayed in the vault within the building.
As the former Bank of Victoria played such a significant role in the gold rush, the gold vault has been opened to the public. Working with The Burke Museum, Beechworth Gold holds small rolling exhibitions throughout the year. Come in and see the giant gold panner and famous gold horseshoes.
