Not being a car person my self, it was suggested to me to take a visit and wow, totally unexpected, way above my expectations, I was certainly not disappointed. The collection is very well laid out and the individual exhibits are themselves very interesting, many with a local flavor. The team running the collection are I understand volunteers only too keen to talk about any exhibit. I was told by one of the staff that the exhibitions are changed on a regular basis. Plenty to interest all the family. A covered picnic area outside. for visitors use. The GVC is a real credit to the community and the people involved.

This is the Old Walhalla Post Office Museum - this post seems to mix up both museums, the other one at the corner store was closed when we went, so this is my review of the Old Walhalla Post Office Museum. It was absolutely fascinating as the last post master who lived and worked here kept it as it was, so it has become a legitimate preserved time capsule and step back in time. It's only a "donation" to get in . I highly recommend you take the time to wander through, and the lady at the front was SO friendly and helpful
