Holsworthy Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away in the old Manor Offices on North Road, the Holsworthy Museum is a real gem for anyone who loves peeling back the layers of local history. It feels less like a formal institution and more like stepping into the town's collective memory, with each room telling a different part of Holsworthy's story. You'll find everything from Victorian-era shop fronts to poignant reminders of its agricultural past. The atmosphere is wonderfully intimate and unpretentious, making it a perfect, quiet escape on a rainy afternoon.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the recreated Victorian pharmacy, complete with original glass bottles and remedies. The collection of agricultural tools gives you a real sense of the physical toil that shaped this community, and there's always something fascinating in their rotating exhibits of old photographs.
