Bridgetown Police Station Museum was built in 1880 and served as a police station until 1973. The Museum has recently had interpretive panels and new displays installed, to make it a contemporary, interesting historical museum

The museum is open Saturdays from 10 to 2. The volunteers are really nice and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed reading about the history of the town. The pictures and artefacts were very interesting. I particularly liked the farming and blacksmithing equipment. Well worth a visit.

A Gallery that showcases jigsaws has to be unique, this remarkable collection is housed in a room at the rear of the Visitor Centre. Reputed to showcase the largest and smallest jigsaws, its worth visiting to marvel at the intriguing topics that engaged people for countless hours. Definitely far more challenging that those that I assembled as a young lad when a 500 piece jigsaw presented a challenge. Good lighting enhances the mounted displays.
4. The Rabbit Hole
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 15 reviews
The Rabbit Hole Bridgetown has been designed as a space for art play…. for experimentation with the creative process in all it’s forms….and then the sharing of that art with the wider community. 9 artist studios for the public to watch artists at work and buy art direct from the creator. Plus the Foyer Gallery with an ever changing round of exhibitions of local art AND the cutest little bookshop in the south-west featuring all the best of written art in pre-loved books. The rabbit in Alice in Wonderland is a metaphor for a new idea, concept or opportunity. Following the rabbit down the rabbit hole represents following that new idea, concept or creative pursuit solely for the excitement of discovery and adventure. Even though Alice isn’t sure where that following will lead her, she’s enthralled enough in it’s originality to pursue it without question. Come down the Rabbit Hole and see for yourself Bridgetown's biggest surprise

We chanced upon this quirky place and just loved it. It is down stairs and has local arts and crafts on display. We met 2 lovely local people who were happy to chat about the work on show. Out the back was a wonderful display of wood sculptures made with charcoal resin moulds. Absolutely remarkable. They deserve a special parkland for them to be displayed well. Well worth a visit. The attached bookstore was terrific.
