About this location
Since its formation in 1961, the Society has been actively collecting objects of historical interest related to Yass and the district. The museum was officially opened in its present location in December 1988 after extensive refurbishments were made to a former garage over a period of five years.
The Yass and District Museum features a temporary exhibition of Movers and Shakers of Yass. In all communities, there are exceptional individuals that stand out as leaders and pioneers though perhaps not recognised as such in their lifetimes.
The Yass Valley residents profiled in this exhibition are representative of those who made a difference to the lives of others whether it be locally, nationally, or further afield. None started life from a position of wealth and privilege, and many were impacted by wars - either in the field or on the home front.
The museum is conveniently located just two doors from the Yass Valley Information Centre and adjoining Coronation Park with its playground and toilet facilities.
