Berrima Courthouse Museum

The Berrima Courthouse Museum is a heritage museum housed in the 1838 sandstone courthouse in Berrima, Southern Highlands, New South Wales. Designed by Colonial Architect Mortimer Lewis in Georgian style, it is one of the oldest surviving courthouses in Australia. The museum displays colonial courtroom settings, local history collections and Southern Highlands artefacts, illustrating early justice, convict history and village development within the well-preserved Berrima historic precinct.

The interior houses permanent exhibitions on colonial justice, local settlement, convict history and Southern Highlands social history, with artefacts, documents, photographs and period objects. The building sits in the Berrima historic village precinct surrounded by heritage streetscape, gardens and sandstone structures, offering self-guided viewing and occasional guided tours.
