Macleay River Historical Society in Kempsey

Unique look into our cultural heritage

A lovely regional museum, well kept, with a nice collection and very helpful volunteers. I booked computer time to browse and search through their amazing photo collection. If you have family in the area, looking through the thousands (literallyof photos in their database is a must. Theres a park with a coffee cart (till about 1pm), sheltered tables, a bbq and clean loos as well.

Good information about Kempsey

Great little museum, well done and well worth the visit. Kids enjoyed it.

An interesting array of historical items and antiques to look at & explore, including an old settlers cottage.There is even a working model of timber cutting and transport.If you want to have research done for you on relatives from earlier eras, a form, appointment and small fee, gives you access to your family history around the Macleay area and surrounds.Well worth a visit and enjoy by-gone eras. Next door is a wonderful Aboriginal art gallery as well, with paintings and other items for sale.

Interesting little museum

Very very dusty, wouldnt recommend if you have allergies, as we dont have and found it hard to breathe

Interesting place with thought provoking artefacts of the local area, dont miss the Aboriginal art gallery next door too!!

Had a great chat with the volunteer lady in the gallery. Nice coffee at the coffee cart in the park. Headed into the gallery after coffee.

Excellent display, lots to see and something for everyone.

Super helpful staff
