Warialda Museum and Historical Society
Warialda’s rich history began in 1827 when explorer/ botanist Allan Cunningham discovered and mapped the area. The township was to be established as the oldest government town in the north west when Captain Robert Mayne was appointed as magistrate in June 1839. Warialda Historical Society aims to promote and preserve this rich history in their Museum and Research Centre.
The premises can be found at 35 Plunkett Street Warialda and is open each Saturday morning 10am to 12pm or by appointment.
