Parkes Phoenix

More To Explore At Museum

August 13, 2021 By Maggi Barnard

This model of a mining village is part of the very informative mining exhibition.

Apart from the new exhibition on the Parkes Aquatic Centre, the Henry Parkes Museum has updates and additions to other displays too. If you want to brush up on your local knowledge of the gold mining history of Parkes, the mining exhibition has been changed and updated and includes some very interesting artefacts and maps of all the mines in and around our town. The Emmanuel Brothers display has been upgraded with a tribute to Phil, and the special Olympic display will be there until the end of the month when the Paralympics ends.

The Olympic Games display has some interesting items of the 2000 Sydney Olympics and other items.
