Port Douglas Court Museum

As its name suggests, Port Douglas Court Museum is a museum, but it is also a historic wooden building constructed in 1879, in which the memory of the city is preserved. Serving as an annex station in the 1950s, and a ruthless court which sentenced to death the only woman hanged in Queensland, the Port Douglas Court Museum is one of the oldest buildings in Port Douglas, a city destroyed by a hurricane in 1911. A museum of local history is now found its place and the Douglas Shire Historical Society is now responsible for ensuring that the premises is maintained with passion.
