Temora Rural Museum

The Temora Rural Museum is one of the principal heritage exhibitions at the Bundawarrah Centre, showcasing not only the history of the Temora district but also the development of the mixed farming industry in southern NSW over more than a century.

An outstanding collection by any measure, the museum provides insights into the lives of pioneering families involved in many aspects of the evolving rural Australian experience - social, commercial, industrial and domestic.

A major project of the Temora Historical Society Inc., the museum is managed by local volunteers in partnership with a Section 355 Committee of Temora Shire Council. Regular working bees by museum volunteers over the past 50 years have added many features to the display. They include the cottage of hardwood slabs that was Sir Donald Bradman’s first home, a one-room public school, a small bush church, country hall, printing works and replica flour mill.

The memorabilia of noted showman and boxing promoter, Jimmy Sharman and a fully furnished 1920s cottage complement a working display of sound technology. Building upon this concept that, were possible, the exhibits should work, museum volunteers have dedicated decades of effort to collecting and restoring a truly impressive array of tractors, stationary engines and agricultural machinery for their displays.

Each year, on the second Saturday in March, the museum celebrates its anniversary with a live exhibition. A packed program of demonstrations features cottage crafts, bush trades, music and working machinery culminating in a series of grand parades presenting vehicles and machinery from all of the heritage collections the Historical Society has developed.

Set in well maintained park-like grounds, visitors are invited to explore the Society’s heritage collections at their leisure or take advantage of the extensive knowledge of volunteers on-site as they work on their ongoing projects.
