Our diverse collections include objects from early businesses, a Blacksmith’s forge, and a fabulous piece of jewellery belonging to Sarah, wife of John Becker the Bootmaker c1870. Experience a 19th century round pole and slab house, which was the Reynolds’ home and also the township’s general store. Feel what it was like to be confined in the original Taroom lockup.
