Narrabri Old Gaol and Museum

Travel Guide - Narrabri's old gaol is part of an impressive complex of colonial government buildings which also includes the office of the court of petty sessions and the court house. The architect for this complex, James Barnet, also designed the Sydney General Post Office. The gaol opened in September 1882 and operated as such for exactly 100 years. It now provides an interesting insight to how things were in the past. The" Dalway Collection" donated by Marriot Dalway is reason alone to visit the museum. Members of the Narrabri Historical Society, who run the Old Gaol Heritage Centre, have indexed over 30,000 entries in its family history section. The centre also contains artefacts of historical, archival and cultural significance to the area. Night tours are available for group bookings as well as other general group tours. Town tours can also be arranged. Thankful that you visited Travel Guide
