A range of exhibitions, meetings, discussions, awards, tours and museum openings will feature in the month-long Festival.

One of the more unusual events is being hosted by the Queanbeyan Museum and features musicians Jason and Chloe Roweth performing songs from World War I.

"The music will give you an idea of the songs that were sung during the war and includes what was perfomed at home as well as by soldiers at the front," Queanbeyan Museum secretary Kerrie Ruth said.

"It's entertaining, educational, moving and because the songs are Australian, they're very funny and have that typical Australian larrikinism."

It's the second time the duo have played at the Queanbeyan Museum having previously performed a bushranger-themed set.

"Music is a different way to showcase heritage rather than the static displays, this adds variety," Ms Ruth said.

"They're fabulous performers, incredible entertainers and musicians as well."

Being that it's been 100 years since Australians landed in Gallipoli, many of the festival events will be based on the based on World War I.

The Queanbeyan Museum will also host a reenactment club with performers dressed as soldiers, display ANZAC reels and number of historical items including uniforms, equipment and tools.

"We've got a lot of heritage to celebrate in Queanbeyan and it's really important to raise the value of heritage," Ms Ruth said. "There's a lot of present heritage - built heritage especially and it's a good thing to raise in Queanbeyan."

The Queanbeyan Heritage Festival runs from April 9 - May 9. Jason and Chloe Roweth will perform The Riderless Horse - A Australian Impression of WW1 in Song at the Queanbeyan Museum on the April 18. For more Heritage Festival events please visit www.library.qcc.nsw.gov.au/.
