Yackandandah’s heritage streetscape isn’t just preserved - it’s lived in every day.

From the red brick charm of `Dean’s Store` and `Nette’s Bootshop` to the grand old Star Hotel, each building has a story to tell. The former Bank of Victoria, now the Yackandandah Museum, reflects the town’s golden beginnings, while the Motor Garage was later converted to a carriage showroom by Louis Meurant in the 1800s.
