Overview

Located in the old McGlew & Adams Produce Store next to the jetty, the museum has detailed displays illustrating the early settlement, industrial, social and maritime history of the area when this once busy port was a continuous hub of activity from the 1870s-1930s.

Now a popular holiday & tourist destination, Edithburgh was once a totally different place – an industrial town – which exported salt from the crude product off the lakes to the best refined table salt packed in its own special glass jars & cloth bags.

Grains, gypsum, lime & eggs were other products shipped from Edithburgh which, by the early 1920’s was South Australia’s 3rd busiest outport.

Early settlement
