Gilgandra Rural Museum

The Gilgandra Rural Museum is a community heritage museum in central Gilgandra, New South Wales, on Castlereagh Street. Established by the Gilgandra Historical Society, it preserves the agricultural and pioneering history of the Gilgandra district. Notable for its large collection of vintage farm machinery, windmills, horse-drawn equipment and Coo-ee March memorabilia, it documents rural life and the town's role as the starting point of the 1915 Coo-ee recruitment march.

Visitors can expect a large indoor and outdoor museum complex with sheds and open yards displaying restored tractors, harvesters, horse-drawn implements, windmills, stationary engines and domestic artefacts. Indoor galleries include photographs, documents and memorabilia related to the 1915 Coo-ee March from Gilgandra to Sydney, local pioneering families and early farming. The site is laid out for self-guided walking with interpretive signage and volunteer guides when available.
