There is a treasure trove full of artefacts and the history of Barellan and the surrounding district. As amateur historians, the Barellan Museum Committee have created memorable displays to take you on a journey that will keep the country spirit alive.
Barellan was once a thriving town with four banks, three churches, three land agents, two hotels, two butcher shops, two cafes, two garages, two blacksmith shops, two grocery shops, hospital and doctor, chemist, post office, railway station, fruit shop, sportsground, showground, school and regular sheep sales held every Friday. Visitors today may find this very hard to believe.
A gradual decline in population has been mainly due to larger-sized properties, good roads and better transport, bank closures and lack of community services. However, the town and its people have managed to keep the country spirit very much alive.
Caters for people with sufficient mobility to climb a few steps but who would benefit from fixtures to aid balance. (This includes people using walking frames and mobility aids)
