Doing the Bolt is an exhibition of convicts and bushrangers, including the town's famous three-day encounter with the Kelly Gang in 1879.
You can undertake a self-guided tour through the Old Printery ( entrance via the Jerilderie Library) to discover stories connected by 'the bolt of a prison door'.
The exhibition is housed in the former office of the Jerilderie and Urana Gazette run in 1879 by Mr Samuel Gill.
The Kelly Gang tried to track down newspaperman Gill on Monday 10 February 1879 to have Ned's 56 page manifesto printed.
