Market Square Museum National Trust

The Market Square Museum in Burra, South Australia, is a meticulously restored 19th-century general store, post office, and family residence. The building served as the home and business of Andrew Wade, a tailor who operated here in the early colonial era. Opened as a museum in 1966, it offers visitors an immersive glimpse into the daily life and commerce of a pioneering South Australian town. The museum is part of the Burra Heritage Passport and features on Johnny Green's Trail, a self-guided heritage walk through Burra's rich copper-mining history. Managed by the National Trust of Australia (SA), the museum preserves original fittings, merchandise displays, and domestic interiors that bring the Victorian era vividly to life.
