Tatura Museum focuses on local history, history of irrigation in the Goulburn Valley & the history of the 7 POW / internee camps in the area during WWII.
The Tatura Irrigation & Wartime Camps Museum opened its doors in 1988. The original building was a four-room structure, built c.1888 to house the offices for the irrigation scheme of the western Goulburn Valley. It later served as a private home & the doctor’s surgery, until its purchase by the Rodney Shire Council for restoration & use as a museum.
Our local history and irrigation history collections are located in this older part of the museum. Two brick extensions (total 200m square) have been added to the original building, and these house the Wartime Camps collection, an art gallery & audio-visual area; a foyer, office, kitchen & toilet facilities. Further extensions are planned for the future.
The museum is run by the Tatura & District Historical Society, which reformed in 1984. It is completely volunteer-based.
