Boyup Brook has a rich local history and many significant buildings in the center of the township. Follow the Boyup Brook Heritage  Trail and learn about early days of the Police Precinct built in 1911. The first court session was held on 18th August of that year when the accused was fined one shilling for fighting. Or learn about the Railway Precinct built in 1909 when the railway line was extended from Donnybrook. There was a large iron tank on a high stand to supply water for the steam engines. The line was extended to Katanning in 1911. The last train to visit Boyup Brook was the Hotham Valley Railway on 7th December 1986.

Whittakers owned a small timber mill, now the site of the present day Post Office. This building was built in 1924 and used to house the manual telephone exchange.

In 1911 a visiting Minister suggested to Mrs Jessica Inglis that an effort be made to build a church in Boyup Brook. Largely due to her unstinting work the block was cleared and the building was erected and opened in 1913.

All in all there are 24 historic attractions along the main streets of Boyup Brook which are well worth a look.
