This small cemetery is one of the earliest identifiable cemetery in Miles located on the banks of Dogwood Creek. It was used from the late 1870's and is the location of several pioneering family's burial sites. A number of graves are surrounded by concrete borders and wrought iron fencing while others can only be identified by a headstone.

The Miles Historical Village Museum and Visitor Information Centre is open from 8.30 am until 4.30 pm every day except Christmas Day. The facility is located on the eastern entrance to Miles on the Warrego Highway. The Museum features over 34 original and replica buildings set in a streetscape reminiscent of a town from the late 1800s. Each building houses their own special collection. The facility also contains a War Museum containing photographs, stories, militaria from the Light Horse in WW1 through to the Vietnam War. The Norman Donpon Lapidary display houses a remarkable collection of fossil woods, ferns, fine agates, crystals and minerals from around the world. This facility takes the visitor on a nostalgic and surprising journey through the lives of the people of the district who lived, worked and socialised in this region. Each year thousands of visitors are impressed by the Historical Village Museum, it's collections and displays. An experience not to be missed!

I have always wanted to see this place and I am glad that I have finally seen it. This place is just amazing with all the displays well appointed with a huge amount of old historic stuff. It was a truly fascinating place to visit. The staff were great as well.

Had a lovely visit to Glengallan Homestead. The house is partly restored and it was interesting to be able to see it's construction and read the history of the house. Definately worth a visit. We had lunch in the adjoining cafe which was nice. The caretakers of Glengallan are to be commended for keeping this history alive for all to see.

6. The Crossing Monument
The Crossing Monument marks the place where many early travelers, including Ludwig Leichhardt, crossed the Myall Creek and was the only track providing access to the few pastoral holdings to the west.
