"Old Gippstown was established in 1968 with the aim of preserving the heritage and telling the story of the region, through a collection of buildings and artefacts. There are 27 buildings on site that have been relocated from elsewhere, with 13 others being built to complete the town. This book encapsulates a short history of predominantly early Gippsland and matches this with stories of the buildings and artefacts in Old Gippstown's collections. Hopefully this will inspire visitors to Old Gippstown into further exploration of Gippsland's rich and fascinating history."--Introduction
