This complex provides a fascinating insight into the life and times of the pioneers of Nambucca District, Mid North coast, New South Wales, Australia. Set in an award winning cottage garden, the replica Pioneer Cottage, furnished with period pieces, makes it easy for a visitor to imagine how they would have lived 100 years ago. See the machinery and implements so important to the farmer and timber cutter; the horse drawn vehicles that travelled our early roads, imagine sleeping in the ‘bark hut’ or spending time in the Police Cell, and discover those bits and pieces that Grandma (or Great Grandma) used. Local and Family History publications are available to purchase and a postcard depicting heritage scenes or occasions will be a memento of your visit. A Nambucca Valley Pioneer Wall is being developed and plaques can be purchased. A Research Officer can assist with your locality or family history project and arrangements can be made for the purchase of copies of photographs from our collection. The Committee conducts regular tours of places of historical interest. Details are advised in local publications, or phone 0422 331 878.
