Wyndham and District Historical Museum

We are a volunteer operated Museum with collections of historic items relative to the Wyndham area including: sheep farming, dairy farming, dairy factories, horse racing, fishing, household items and histories of local clubs.
Our building has been deemed to be a potential earthquake risk and for this reason the Museum is permanently closed but we are actively fundraising to establish a new museum and in 2019 will start sharing our collection online.
