Clarence Town Courthouse and Site - Clarence Town
Address: Clarence Town District Historical Museum
Clarence Town, NSW 2321
Dungog Courthouse was designed by prominent colonial architect James Barnet and is subsequently well worth a look. The exterior can be viewed at any time, with more restricted access to the interior.
A former courthouse building (1869) is the site of a local history museum which focuses on Clarence Town as a terminal of navigation and river port. Its collection encompasses shipbuilding, exploration, maps, documents photographs, memorabilia, household items, timber-getting, agriculture and the history of the settlement of Williams River.
A native cottage garden is in the process of being established, together with a replica pioneer settlers cottage, containing names, photographs (where available), and information on Pioneer Settlers; all surrounded by native trees. In this manner there will be provided a background to Clarence Town's heritage and a support to our Historical Museum.
Guided tours, craft shop, Devonshire teas, historical tours of the town are available by appointment.
