Camden Museum

Camden Museum We are looking for volunteers who enjoy the history of Camden . Contact our Volunteer Coordinator.

The history of the Camden district is as old as Australia itself and in the Museum our unique heritage unfolds in the exhibited stories and displays as you wander through the large collection of Aboriginal and 20th century material which has been donated by the people of the town and district. These things reflect the every day and familiar experiences that most of us share; joy and grief, recreat

ion and work, caring and learning, past and present. The Museum is run and maintained by the Camden Historical Society on a voluntary basis.

"Time after time… Camden’s iconic buildings and their changing stories..."
One of the featured buildings is Macaria - a building which still looks much the same as when it was built in about 1859, though it has been extended over the years. It has been a home, school, doctor's surgery, library, and council building. It was nearly lost in 1970, but thankfully was saved. It is now the home of the Alan Baker Art Gallery.
Come and see more of the story at the free exhibition in the Old Fire Station, 40 John Street Camden, until May 18.

This exhibition is presented by Camden Historical Society, Camden Area Family History Society, and Camden Library, as part of the Australian Heritage Festival
