Singleton Historical Museum

This building, Singleton Historical Museum, was preceded by two lock up cells built on the site in 1840. By 1841 a detached Court House was built 50 ft to the west and donated by Benjamin Singleton to the government in return for Minimbah buildings.

In April 1862 two stone cells were built on the western side of the slab cells being 8ft x 11ft with wooden floors, to hold five prisoners each having a centre corridor between.

The aims of the society are to preserve artifacts used by the Aboriginal inhabitants, European settlers and residents of the area for the appreciation of present and future generations. The museum reflects these aims through its displays and research activities.
