Ardrossan And District Historical Museum
When Ardrossan folk talk of the sea they look to the land. And amidst the agricultural machinery in the Ardrossan Museum you will see why.
Ardrossan Museum is located in the former factory of C.H. Smith who was a well-known South Australian manufacturer of agricultural machinery and developer of the Stump Jump Plough. This plough has legendary status in South Australia's history and is at the heart of the Ardrossan Museum's displays.
A small room contains relics from the sailing ship Zanoni, which sank off Ardrossan.
A display on the 'Mosquito Fleet' the many ketches serving Ardrossan right up to the 1950s shows the dependence of the area on the sea trade.
The original Harbour Masters Office from the jetty has now been renovated and set up as an old time store.
So when Ardrossan folk talk of the land they look to the sea.
