Nundle Courthouse Museum

Visit the near $50,000 refurbished Nundle Courthouse Museum, includes farm equipment, kitchenware, furniture, clothing, Nundle Aboriginal Memorial, and information relating to the 1948 Lutana DC-3 aircraft crash on Crawney Mountain, that tragically killed three crew and 10 passengers. The Museum is open Saturday 10-11.30am and Sunday 12.30-4pm, small cost for entry.

The two storey red brick building with distinctive arched windows was built in 1880 by local builder George Davidson and was listed by the Australian Heritage Commission in 1975 as a fine example of 19th Century colonial architecture.

The building was auctioned by the Police Department in November 1869, selling for five pounds. Nundle District Lions Club took over custodianship of the building in 1988 when it sought a larger home for a collection of artefacts gathered by Nundle Historical Society over 20 years, previously housed at the Primitive Methodist Church.

The major refurbishment of the interior and exterior of the museum, housed in Nundle Court House, was made possible following two State Government grants totalling $48,872, and was officially opened by Member for Tamworth, Kevin Anderson in 2016.  The refurbishment included carpeting, installing new blinds, stabilisation, painting, reproofing, water proofing, and replacing areas of guttering.
Nundle District Lions Club Secretary Stephen Millar said the renovation would protect the valuable historical collection, stabilise the heritage building, and provide a more comfortable experience for visitors.
