    Interesting to find out about things in your own back yard.

    We didn't know about this museum until we discovered it on Google maps during a visit to Lindsay. It was well worth the visit, with admission a very reasonable $5.00.

    The building is a gorgeous 19th century Gaol, which has been kept in extremely good condition. The interior now houses a remarkably well curated museum which tells some of the history of the region and the city, and more specifically the Gaol itself.

    There are three sections to explore. The basement level displays some of the actual cells where prisoners were kept, and describes living conditions and the history of the Gaol. The signs and information are very detailed. You get a very creepy sense of what it would have been like to be a prisoner.

    The ground floor and top floor are where you find the regional and city exhibits. Some of the displays will be rotated with new ones. There are numerous artifacts, pictures, furniture, clothing, etc. Check their website for further information.

    Staff are friendly and informative. You won't regret spending some time here, highly recommended.
