Our display of "Howard" machinery honours Arthur Clifford Howard, who build and tested his first prototypes on his father's farm in the Gilgandra Shire.
This is one of our working displays, powered by the adjacent windmill.

Our History
The Society was set up in the 1980's by interested townspeople with the encouragement of our Shire Council. The first Museum was located in the current Library building, and was moved to the Heritage Centre when that was opened. The current Museum building was opened in 2002, and extended a number of times to the complex you see today.
