Operating out of two sites: The Historic Council Chambers are ideally
located next to the Civic Centre, Library, Art Gallery and Theatre. This
delightful neo classical building was originally the city's Town Hall
and Municipal Offices, and also the seat of local government until 1999.
It was built by well known local builder Charles Hardy and converted to
a museum in 1999. It serves as both a space for special travelling exhibitions
and a meeting venue. Our second site is next to the Botanic Gardens, on
top of Willans Hill 3kms from the city centre. This site is earmarked
for depicting the people, places and events which have given Wagga Wagga
its unique character. The site includes internal exhibitions about the
life of our city and a number of outdoor buildings including a chapel,
printery, post office, pioneer hut, classroom and sheds of agricultural
equipment.
A special feature of this site is the Wagga Wagga Sporting Hall of Fame
which includes 65 inductees of some famous sporting men and women from
our city.
