Glen Innes became a municipality in 1872 and the prosperity and growth witnessed the erection of some substantial public buildings in the 1870s, including the courthouse, hospital and town hall with the railway arriving in 1884.
The Land of the Beardies History House and Research Centre is a quality folk museum located in the Glen Innes first hospital. One of the largest in New South Wales, it is set in extensive grounds which include a reconstructed slab hut and a fine collection of 19th century relics, which is set out to demonstrate the material culture of the colonial era.
The town's annual celebrations include the Pastoral and Agricultural Show in February, the Australian Celtic Festival in May, Minerama in September, in which Australian gem collectors gather and guided tours of local fossicking sites are organised, the Australian Bush Music Festival in October, and the Land of the Beardies Bush Festival in November, incorporating a mardi gras, carnival, motor show, exhibits and competitions.
