About

Welcome to the Wollondilly Heritage Centre and Museum — a place where the stories of our region are kept alive and shared with pride. Since opening its doors in 1988 the museum has been dedicated to preserving the rich, diverse history of the Wollondilly Shire and the people who shaped it.

For more than four decades, volunteers and local historians have worked tirelessly to collect, protect, and celebrate the memories of our towns, villages, and pioneering families. Today, the museum stands as a vibrant community hub where visitors can explore exhibitions filled with rare objects, personal stories, photographs, and records that capture the spirit of Wollondilly’s past.

From the deep cultural heritage of the Gundungurra people to the industries, landscapes, and communities that defined the region, the Wollondilly Heritage Centre and Museum offers an inviting and meaningful journey through time. It’s a place to connect with local history, discover untold stories, and appreciate the legacy that continues to shape Wollondilly today.

Our Mission

Volunteers from The Oaks Historical Society Inc. manage the Wollondilly Heritage Centre and Museum with a clear and heartfelt purpose: to collect, research, and interpret the material culture and local history of the Wollondilly Shire and Burragorang Valley. Working in partnership with community members and local organisations, the Centre strives to deepen understanding of the past so that we can better appreciate the present.

The Wollondilly Heritage Centre and Museum invites you to step back in time, connect with the stories that shaped this land, and discover the legacy that continues to influence the community today.
