Hartley Historic Site - Hartley

Address: Hartley Village
Hartley, NSW 2790
The need for a police centre in the Hartley Valley led to the construction of the Hartley Court House in 1837. Over the next 50 years a bustling village
grew around the court house. The area was the judicial and administrative centre, with churches and accommodation, a post office and staging facilities.
It served both travellers and settlers west of the Blue Mountains.
In 1887 the village was surpassed by the Great Western Railway, resulting in stagnation and decline. In 1972 the site was declared as an historic site under the Management of the National Parks and Wildlife Service.
Today, the village comprises 17 buildings of historical significance. The village remains a fine example of a 19th century settlement.
Opening times
Court house tours run daily at 10.00 a.m., 11.00 a.m., 12.00 noon, 2.00 p.m. and 3.00 p.m. Closed Christmas day.
