Step Into The Past
The Woolpack Inn Museum is a two story heritage listed historic building located in the main street of Holbrook.
The original Woolpack Inn was opened in 1839 by John Mitten and continued trading until it was destroyed by fire in 1895.
The current building was built as the Criterion Hotel in 1895 and was affectionately known by the locals as the “Bottom Pub” which continued trading until 1965.
In 1971 after a good deal of work by volunteers the Woolpack Inn Museum opened its doors to the public.
This museum, one of the best in rural New South Wales, has a large, unique and varied collection.
All the items on display have been donated by local residents over many years and now fill twenty-two rooms depicting life in the 19th century. Relocated and erected in the garden is a 130 year slab school house, a replica of the old Holbrook bakery and a black smith’s shop surrounded by old machinery, wagons and coaches
