Mansfield Station

352 reviewsAbout
The former Mansfield Railway Station buildings are well preserved and are currently home to the Mansfield Historical Society. Adjacent to the station precinct is the Mansfield Visitor Information Centre.
The station is of a traditional timber design, and features many original fixtures including pressed metal interior walls, original doors and timber panels and a full length signal bay window. Original light fittings are also in place inside the station building.
The Mansfield train service ran its last service in 1978. Goods and freight services continued on the line until six months later, when they were also discontinued.
The old railway line is now the Great Victorian Rail Trail which starts and finishes at the Mansfield Station and the Visitor Information Centre. A new museum and heritage centre are scheduled to open early 2027 in the railway precinct.

Well appointed, fresh and exhibiting local art and activities. The information available is first class and engaging. The brochures made exploring the area enjoyable. The volunteer was great. Thanks for making our stay here memorable.

My usual first stop in any regional town which has an info centre. Almost all have knowledgeable & super helpful, friendly staff. But not this one. The elderly lady had a supercilious unpersonable attitude & just waved towards the brochures display stating "you will find it there". I did not really - as I all I wanted to know was what I could do for just an overnight stay. Google came to my aid later. My 4 stars is for this lovely centre with its interesting & well presented exhibits. The Man from Snowy River memorabilia is excellent & a surprise find. Everything else makes this a mini pseudo art gallery cum museum worth a stop as you enter the township from Bonnie Doon direction. The Great Rail bike & walking Trail passes through 100 metres away & historical society is a stone's throw neaeby. Plenty of parking available.

My older brother and I were in Mansfield to repair one of our ancestors' grave stone and site from 1870. As our ancestors, the Withers family, were one of the original founding families of Mansfield, we went to the visitors centre to see the old photos on display in search of photos we don't have of pur ancestors. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We will be back to do more work at the cemetery. Mansfield is an awesome town. The locals people and businesses are friendly and welcoming. We hope you visit soon.
