Tumbarumba History Walk & Museum

Tumbarumba has a number of well preserved old buildings, such
as the Court House and the Police Residence which were constructed in the 1880s, probably as a result of the discovery of gold in the area in 1855 which led to an influx of population.

Interpretive plaques with some background information on some of the buildings are placed a key points in the town. The Tumbarumba Historical Society has produced a small booklet on Walks around Tumbarumba that relate to events, places and people of historical interest; including one on the history of the town buildings with a suggested route to follow around town. This booklet is available from the Tumbarumba Visitor Information Centre for $5.00 to cover the printing cost.

The Tumbarumba Museum is located in the Centre, and provides some fascinating displays on the gold mining, timber and cattleman's heritage, as well as special exhibitions.

The museum is currently featuring an exhibition on the history and disappearance of the Southern Cloud aircraft. Included in the exhibition is a replica model of the plane.
