We visited this museum in November 2014. The museum is full of interesting memorabilia of the Silverton area, as well as Police and Military antiques. The guide was very knowledgable and friendly. If you visit Silverton, this is a must-see museum.
20 min drive from brokenhill but well worth a visit this gaol is also a museum charting the history of Silverton and the surrounding area, it is informative and very interesting.
So much to take in, this museum is rooms full of interesting history of the old town and the era it had it's heyday. After a while it is just too much to take in. Brilliantly organised. Do not miss this and allow plenty of time to browse through it picking out the smallest fascinating objects and the facts about them.
Went for a drive out to Silverton. Alot to take in. Every room filled if paraphernalia from different stages of the past and from this area. The people running it seem very friendly. Worth a look.
This museum has a HUGE collection of objects to see. It's a bit overwhelming (and be sure to leave plenty of time!) but was an incredible insight into the lives of real people in the past that can't be learned just from reading historical information. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Silverton.
There are a number of gems in this museum, but there is just way too much jammed into the confines of this place, its more a museum about the history of broken hill then anything much to do with the gaol or the prisonners.Entry was cheap at $4 per adult.
This old police station and gaol was jam packed with so many interesting things from all walks of life, so many donated by local people. Give yourself plenty of time to appreciate all this museum has to offer.
If you are into museums this is worth seeing. Crammed full of curios and artefacts from Broken Hill and surrounds, an eaay way to spend a few hours.
An impressive collection, well displayed. A great museum, would recommend a visit, it's very interesting, and goes on forever!
Once of the most interesting and collection- filled museums I've been to in a long time. An amazing array of stuff in the old goal and courthouse about Broken Hill and Silverton's history.
