Lovely little museum that provides a great overview of what life was like in the olden days as well as the history of wollombi. Entry is so cheap ($2/adult, children free) and the gentleman who was manning the desk was very friendly and provided us with a brief overview of the history of wollombi which was great as it provided us with context as we looked at the beautifully displayed exhibits. There was a room where our entry activated a voice and verbal 'play' about the inhabitants and piano! so entertaining! although the space was very compact, it was full of information and lovely exhibits! highly recommend!
