Welcome
to the Grenfell Historical Museum.

Once named Emu Creek, Grenfell was once the centre of a gold rush in Western NSW. Around this time the famous poet Henry Lawson was born in a tent on the goldfields, while bushrangers and gangs roamed the countryside stealing gold and on the run from the authorities.
At the Grenfell museum you can explore these characters and the wild times they lived in, where the lure of gold drew people from all walks of life to Grenfell and the surrounding countryside.
The museum not only features displays on our own famous personalities such as Henry Lawson, Stan McCabe and Jan Lehane but tries to look at life through the eyes of the less famous.
