Old Wentworth Gaol

Try on a prisoner or guard outfit and get your picture taken at Australia's first designed gaol.

Built in 1879-1881, the small single storey brick gaol with bluestone trim was designed by colonial architect James Barnett.

The gaol replaced over-crowded lock-ups and was utilised until its closure in 1927.

After its closure as a gaol, the building was used as extra classrooms for the Wentworth Central School until 1963. The Gaol is in remarkable condition and attracts many visitors.
