  • I was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The exhibits were well-curated and provided a deep dive into the history of the area. From the Indigenous cultures to the early European settlers...

  • Our family was greeted with friendly and informative staff. This place is perfect for all ages. You could easily spend 1 to 2 hours here. They have I-Spy game, colouring and Lego table for the little ones. Beautiful displays. Conveniently located at the city centre. Great discovery and learning experience on Port Macquarie.
  • Larger than expected, the women at the entrance where very nice. 5$ per person. Museum well kept, really interesting to get to know the importance of this town especially with the arrival of British convicts. Parking with trailer is possible on a side street.
  • Interesting museum with historical information about the early settlers of Australia in particular those around Port Macquarie. Ladies at the reception desk were lovely. Good value for $5.
  • The best local small history museums in NSW, the ladies are very lovely. The place is well presented, they are supporting the senior people around the area. Actually you can access it for free if you have a senior card. For adults $5. Port Macquarie is the third city for settlers around 1821, the house was built around 1831 and 1835. It is located on one of the major roads. It was a very enjoyable place for a family trip in Port Macquarie.
  • We were impressed. This museum looks small from outside but very large and plenty to see inside! We learnt a lot about the history of early settlement and their life. Very interesting. We had a family ticket for $15, which was not expected as we expected to pay for adults and children separately. The ladies at the front look like volunteers, they were very welcoming and friendly. There are many free onstreet parking, but was very busy as we went during public holiday. Strongly recommended to visit when you are at Port Macquarie.
