OPEN: Saturdays: 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Set in sixteen rooms of the heritage-listed 1868 Mount Victoria Railway Station. It is part of the railway to the west which was built across the rough terrain of the Blue Mountains. Entry fees apply. A display to commemorate the bicentenary of the crossing of the Blue Mountains has sketches, paintings, and artifacts showing the work of the explorers, road builders, tradesmen, and convicts. The struggle of the settlers is shown by the nature of the tools and farm equipment, whose construction, use and maintenance required enormous physical effort.The changing domestic scene is illustrated by costumes and accessories, pottery, historic railway tableware, musical instruments, and furniture. Development of the area as a tourism destination and industries such as mining are also depicted. Displays and information on unique local schools are a highlight. Many natural history items depict local and exotic wildlife.
