Step inside the Gunnedah Rural Museum and discover the stories of Australia's pioneering past. Spread across an impressive 14,000 square metres, this remarkable collection houses more than 18,000 artefacts - each with a tale to tell.
Walk among mighty steam engines that once powered the land, and admire the craftsmanship of horse-drawn wagons before motorcars took the reins. Marvel at antique farm machinery, blacksmithing tools, and the humble household items that shaped everyday life. The museum also features a unique McDonagh model railway, a fascinating shearing display, and displays that will spark a smile, like the colourful Coca-Cola collection and an array of classic Arnott's biscuit tins.
Take your time exploring the exhibits while our experienced volunteers share their knowledge and passion for local history. Discover a unique destination that celebrates both ingenuity and hard work. Entry is available for a small fee, offering excellent value and access to a rich historical experience.
They gladly welcome groups and coach tours and can cater for light lunches as well as morning or afternoon teas. Complete your visit with a stop at their well-stocked gift shop, featuring a range of souvenirs and local heritage items to remember your experience.
