The grand homestead of William B Chaffey (one of Mildura's founders), the historic Queen Anne–style Rio Vista has been beautifully preserved and restored. Each room is set up as a series of historical displays depicting colonial life in the 19th century, with period furnishings, costumes, photos and a collection of letters and memorabilia.
The Mildura Arts Centre, in the same complex, combines a modern-art gallery with changing exhibitions and a theatre.
