One of the interesting attractions in Bright<\/a><\/strong> is the Historical Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum covers railway history, gold mining history and also covers the social history of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bright was the centre of the Ovens River, Morses Creek and Buckland River gold fields. Alluvial, Dredging and Deep Lead mining were all carried out in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A large number of Chinese miners worked in the above gold fields and the museum has a reconstructed Chinese Joss House and has a collection of artefacts from Chinese Miners<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The railways opened up the valley but roads and cars made the railway redundant. The old railway line is now a very popular Rail Trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bright has been a popular tourist destination since the early part of the Twentieth century and displays of all these developments are part of the museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
