The Rockhampton Heritage Village is located just off the Bruce Highway, close to the Yeppoon turnoff. It is an active township museum that covers 18 hectares of bushland and gives a taste of Rockhampton's past, with homesteads and other buildings dating back from 1850 until 1950.

This museum is definitely worth a visit if you are interested in war history. The museum displays a comprehensive collection ranging from the 1900s to the present. It includes artefacts from the military history of Rockhampton and surroundings like American Army uniforms from World War II, badges and medals, personal collections from Vietnam veterans, diaries and war photographs.

In Skäftekärr, close to Böda in northern Öland, lies an Iron Age village with around 20 well-preserved stone house foundations spread across 10 farms dating from 300–700 AD. At the heart of the Iron Age village are the remains of a chieftain's estate, comprising four house foundations. Adjacent to this historic site, the "new Iron Age landscape" includes a reconstructed version of one of these typical houses and the charred remains of an earlier reconstruction. The park is also home to an impressive collection of approximately 140 different species of trees and shrubs, forming an arboretum. An eco-park center with information about the Böda Eco-park is available on-site, along with Skäftekärr café, hotel, and conference, housed in the majestic main building. For the little ones, a popular obstacle course adds to the day's adventure.
