Stansbury Museum

Yorke Peninsula

From $5.00
The Stansbury Museum, situated in the original school and headmaster's residence, offers a series of comprehensive displays showcasing the history and industry of the town and local area.

Collections on display include dolls, shells, clocks, gems/minerals, bottles, cameras, office equipment, the RSL and sport. Several areas showcase the homes of earlier times-the bedroom, the sitting room, the dining room and the kitchen. The clothing room highlights the fashions of the past as well as sewing, knitting and lacemaking.

Those wishing to explore the history of the region more thoroughly may also wish to visit the reading/research room which holds a collection of cemetery records and other reference material. They have gathered several family trees, and welcome more as they assist you with research.

Outside, visitors can admire the museum's collection of farming utensils, motoring paraphernalia/engines, a scale model of Riddle Windmill and much more.

The museum is open every Wednesday and Sunday 2-4 pm and daily during January. Tours and catering are available by prior arrangement.

The most frequent comment is - "It's so much bigger than it looks from the outside".

The Yorke Peninsula is the traditional lands of the Narungga (Nharangga) people, who have lived on, and cared for, this country since the beginning of time. We work, live and travel on Nharannga Banggara [Country], and we take time away from those pursuits to acknowledge and pay our deep respects to the Nharangga Elders of the past and present. 

Today, it is essential that we continue to care for and protect our spectacular natural environment. Tread lightly and leave no trace. Learn more about responsible and respectful travel on Yorke Peninsula.
