Local history buffs have been collecting stories, documents, artefacts and memorabilia since the History Group was incorporated in 1972. All this is now Manilla’s heritage.

Manilla's first museum opened to the public in 1973, in temporary premises at the southern end of Manilla Street.

"Royce Cottage", now the Manilla Heritage Museum, opened in 1975.

In April 2012, the Rural Museum extension was officially opened by James Treloar, in appreciation of his interest in Manilla’s rural history and his financial contribution to the project.

Today, the Manilla community collection is acknowledged as a significant archive of Australian Rural Community History.
