Narrabri's old gaol is part of an impressive complex of colonial government
buildings which also includes the office of the court of petty sessions and
the court house.
The architect for this complex, James Barnet, also designed the Sydney General
Post Office. The gaol opened in September 1882 and operated as such for
exactly 100 years. It now provides an interesting insight to how things were
in the past.
Members of the Narrabri Historical Society who run the Old Gaol Heritage
Centre, have indexed over 30,000 entries in its family history section. The
centre also contains artefacts of historical, archival and cultural
significance to the area.
Open Saturday's Only or by Appointment (Coach groups Welcome)
