Tamborine Mountain has a compelling unique character that arises out of the rich and diverse heritage of the region. The Tamborine Mountain Heritage Centre is run by the Mountain's Historical Society and features a small historic village, offering a snapshot of the life of early settlers. Visitors can see the first church to be erected on the mountain. Called the Pioneer Hall it has been relocated within the centre's grounds. It contains various dioramas of the mountain's history as well as extensive displays of fashions from the early 1900s.
