Silverton Gaol Museum
Silverton Gaol (1889) - only a few years after the gaol was built, all of the action shifted to Broken Hill. Now a museum, it displays photographs,
documents, household items and pastoral and mining equipment. One document is a bill of sale by which James Poole tragically exchanged his share in the
new Broken Hill mine for steers.
One of the real curiosities is the coroner's bath! This was filled with preservative and bodies were placed in it until the coroner came from Sydney. In the
days before the railway this could take up to three months.
