Jerilderie Museum at the Willows
As a building, 'The Willows' Museum dates back historically to 1878, when it was first built as a residence by the Wise brothers, in conjunction with the construction of a Flour Mill. The Mill itself was a water powered stone grind mill, which operated at 'The Willows' site prior to its relocation to the railway siding in 1885.
Planted on the lawns of 'The Willows' is a native 'Jerilderie Red' tree, which is a cross between an Illawarra Flame tree and a Kurrajong, and is unique to Jerilderie.'
The Willows' is not only a museum but is also the official Visitors Information Centre and a refreshment area. It is set in a delightful leafy surrounding on the banks of the Billabong Creek.
Nearby is the one of the six National Heritage Sites; The Post and Telegraph Office which featured in the raid in Jerilderie by the Ned Kelly Gang in 1879.
