Arms of Australia Inn Museum

The Nepean District Historical Society currently operates from the old Arms of Australia Inn which has been equipped as a museum of local history for the Nepean District.

The museum contains thousands of photos and artefacts that were either used or manufactured in the local area and these are on display for people to see.

Displays

Along with glass displays we also have a number of hands on interactive displays, including, old gramophones, a pedal powered organ, old sewing machines, old adding machines, a 1920’s phone switchboard and hand cranked phones.

As well, there is agricultural equipment including the old grindstone and hand washing mangles, wood stoves, pre-electric fridges and blacksmiths forges and equipment.

Ghost Tours

The Historical Society also conducts tours by old kerosene lanterns of our museum in the evenings.

The tours are designed to take you back in time to the early 1800s to give you a sense of what it was like to live without power or running water.

If you are lucky you may get to meet some of the past travellers who never left the building. The tours are by appointment only with a minimum of 5 people and bookings are essential.
