Young Historical Museum

The Young Historical Society Inc. runs this not-for-profit Museum which preserves and shares the history of Young and District on Wiradjuri Country.

We are certified through the Museums and Galleries NSW Standards Program. The Young Historical Society was created on 28 February 1958 and began collecting local memorabilia from that time, creating a small museum. It is currently trading as Young Historical Museum and has been in its current location since 1976. The Museum is run by Volunteers from the Young Historical Society who underwent the M

useums and Galleries Standards Program in 2005. That means we abide by the National Standards for Australian Museums and Galleries 2.0 as well as all Australian and international laws relating to heritage. Significant items on display include Coborn Jackey's breastplate given to him by James White in the 1830s, the Roll Up banner used during the 1861 Lambing Flat riots, Elizabeth Witham's 1826 sampler, a bible which once belonged to bushranger Frank Gardiner, a carriage made in Young by John Rogan in 1880 and a collection of art from world-reknowned glass artist Helmut Hiebl. Alongside displays, we also have a Research Library which members of the public are welcome to use when researching local history.
