About McCrossin's Mill Museum
McCrossin's Mill Museum is a heritage museum housed in a three-storey brick flour mill on Salisbury Street in Uralla, New South Wales. Built between 1870 and 1872 by John McCrossin, it is one of the few surviving 19th-century flour mills in Australia. Operated by the Uralla Historical Society, it presents local history including bushranger Captain Thunderbolt, Anaiwan Aboriginal heritage, Chinese settlement and original milling machinery.
