Description:
Gilgandra's Rural Museum contains local history artefacts and specialises in Australian-invented rural machinery of yesteryear. There is an annual steam engine rally on Easter Saturday. The windmill out the front has symbolic value as there were 300 in operation by the 1950s, earning Gilgandra the title 'The Windmill Town'. They were used to pump up sub-artesian water until 1966. An Avenue of Windmills is being established in the park, displaying various types and sizes. The museum is located at Coo-ee March Memorial Park on the Newell Highway, some 480km north-west of Sydney.
