The Avoca Hotel, 1872, is one of the few businesses to have operated continuously since 1854. The hotel has preserved most of its historical charm. Its location on the site of the original 1854 Avoca Hotel gives its strong connection to the town's early gold rush days. In 1865, Avoca had six hotels. Today, the Avoca and Victoria hotels remain.
