Nundle Courthouse Museum gets $50,000 upgrade

The extensive refurbishment was funded by the state government and included new structural work, painting, carpeting, water proofing and new blinds.

Tamworth MP Kevin Anderson said there would definitely be some notable changes for visitors.

“Our history is who we are, which is why it is so important for the government to invest in projects like the refurbishment we’ve seen on the Nundle Courthouse Museum,” he said.

“It really is a wonderful snapshot of Nundle’s history and I highly recommend that anyone who hasn’t been before take a drive out to see it.”

The 19^th century colonial-architecture style building was constructed by local builder George Davidson in 1880. Nundle District Lions Club took over custody of the building in 1988 to use as the museum.

Club Secretary Stephen Millar said the renovation would protect the valuable historical collection.
