The Winton Region in Queensland is home to several historical houses and sites that offer a glimpse into the past. Built from 1881 to around 1912, the homestead is significant for its demonstration of how European settlement spread in remote parts of Queensland and the growth of service towns. In the town of Winton itself, visitors can find a variety of historic buildings and sites. Some of the key attractions include the Corfield and Fitzmaurice Store, listed by the National Trust as one of the well-preserved old-style general stores, and the Royal Theatre, one of the few operating open-air picture theaters remaining in Australia. Additionally, the Winton Club, known as the "birthplace" of Qantas, holds historical significance as the location of the first Qantas Board meeting in February 1921.
For those interested in paleontology, the Winton and surrounding areas are known as dinosaur country, with self-drive route maps available to guide visitors to the attractions outside town. Taking a leisurely walk through Winton allows visitors to discover the town's historic buildings and sites, including the Winton and Districts Historical Society Museum, which recently reopened after a fire in 2015. This museum provides more in-depth information about the region's history and further enriches the visitor experience.
