Former Customs Officers Residence on Darling Street. One of only two customs houses still standing today.

According to research done, the Wentworth Customs house is only one of two customs houses still standing today. The other is located in the South Australian border down river from Wentworth.

The Wentworth Customs house, designed by colonial James Barnett, was built in 1884. It is now a private residence, and has been altered somewhat. During 2001, a commemorative plaque was placed on the house by the Australian Customs Authority.

Historic Wentworth Cemetery on Cadell Street. Wentworth has some very old burials, dating back to the 1850's. Many of the district's pioneers are buried at the Wentworth cemetery including several well know businessmen (William Gunn & John Egge).

Wentworth Wharf, Wharf Street. Originally built in 1879. The wharf was originally built in 1879 using local timber and was a major landmark of the town - a hive of industry. Throughout the riverboat era Wentworth was the busiest inland port within NSW (third busiest port after Sydney & Newcastle). During one week 31 steamers were docked at the wharf. The original wharf deteriorated and was demolished in 1983. This similar replica (including the little customes office) now stands in its place.
