Welcome to Wangan and Jagalingou country.

During the 1870s, Copperfield was a bustling copper mining community, with a population of nearly 1500, but by the end of the decade the town was in decline. In its day, the town boasted two banks, a baker, three butchers, three blacksmiths, six stores, a saddler, a newspaper, two auctioneers, a cordial maker, and six hotels, of which only the Copperfield store remains.

The original Copperfield Store building was opened in 1860, and was replaced in 1927 with a new building. The store continued to operate long after the disappearance of the town of Copperfield, finally closing in 1975.

Copperfield Store is a local heritage listed building. 

The Copperfield Store is located along Rubyvale Road (formerly Christoe Street), Clermont. Heading out of Clermont, the store is on the left hand side of the road.
