The town of Chiltern is located between Wangaratta and Barnawartha in north-eastern Victoria.

A gold mining boom followed by the discovery of quartz saw the town grow significantly during the mid 1800s, with the population supporting 12 hotels and three banks. This boom eventually subsided with all mining operations ceasing in the very early 1900s.

A legacy to Chiltern's mining days are the well-preserved historic buildings which are built around the town's main road junction of Main Street and Conness Street, including the Federal Standard newspaper office (built in 1860), the Star Hotel (1866), Dow's Pharmacy (1860) and Gilmour's Corner Store (1890). The Chiltern Athenaeum Museum, originally the town hall and council chambers, presents a large collection of historical books and paintings.

On the corner of Main Street and Alliance Street is the picturesque Lake Anderson, surrounded by picnic grounds, sporting facilities and a caravan park.

There are a number of scenic drives on the outskirts of Chiltern, many of which traverse the surrounding Chiltern - Mt Pilot National Park. North-west of town is Donkey Hill Road which leads to a scenic lookout over the surrounding plains and passes through areas of old mining sites. South of Chiltern, on the road to Beechworth, is the turn-off to Mount Pilot where commanding views can be enjoyed from the mountain's peak.

Chiltern Athenaeum Housed in the former town hall which was built in 1866, it features memorabilia of the region's mining and agricultural past, plus writings and paintings by local artists

Chiltern - Mt Pilot National Park Covering 21,565 hectares, this park includes the striking Mt Pilot Range, Woolshed Falls, box-ironbark forests and several historic goldmining sites
