Hawkesbury Regional Museum

Hawkesbury Regional Museum opened in 2008 and is located in one of Australia's oldest settlements - the third on mainland Australia after Sydney and Parramatta. The Museum is made up of a purpose-built building and historic Howe House. The Georgian house has been fitted out with furnishings and displays that reflect its many uses over more than 200 years of history. It is open for guided tours at 11am and 2pm on weekends, and during the week for booked groups.
