The railway came to Beverley in 1886 when the town became the terminus of the State Government from Perth via York. Passengers had to stay overnight in Beverley to catch the connecting train which lead to the building of a number of hotels. The railway station was closed in 1984 and it was allowed to fall into disrepair. In 2006, after restoration by the community and the council, it was reopened as the Station Gallery.
The first general store was built by the Edwards family in 1898.

Trails are free and bring so many benefits to our community by providing opportunities to have fun, get fit, socialise, explore and challenge yourself. But they also have to be managed and maintained which only is made possible through terrific sponsors, donations and/or volunteering.
