Donald Agricultural Museum and Old Police Camp

Situated within the showgrounds and fronting onto Hammill Street, the Agricultural Museum houses a large number of historical machines used in the district. Everything is displayed under cover and is visible at all times. Some of the machinery was manufactured by local blacksmiths.

The Donald History Group also manages some other historical resources in Donald including:

The Old Police Camp - This is a wonderful facility and can be viewed by appointment. Listen to a mounted policeman instructing a recruit, view and hear the saga of a man in the cells. Also on the grounds is a Blacksmith's Shop, a Shepherd's Hut, a Brick Oven, historical Wagon Sheds, wagons, chaffcutter and tip-dray.

Donald District Archives - We have two adjoining buildings in Woods Street to hold the majority of our assets. This is your first port of call when researching your ancestors or pioneers - newspaper indexes, obituaries, school records, minute books, shire rolls and more. Open most afternoons
