In a region where mines and rail have played an important part in making the Hunter Valley what it is today the Museum is well worth a visit.

 

The Museum offers a day of fun for families, and the joy of bringing grandchildren to the museum to reminisce and show them how life used to be.

The Museum can cater for birthdays, weddings and other functions and special events throughout the year.

 

As well as heritage hauled train rides the Museum can take care of the restoration of locomotives, rollingstock and track.

You can also find lots of mining memorabilia at the Museum.

 

Volunteer, Tracey Hamilton tells us Richmond Vale Railway Museum is exclusively run by volunteers, and proudly operated by people from within our community.

 

“We are always looking for bigger and better attractions and displays for our special events and open days,” says Tracey.

 

“We are replacing our timber sleepers with concrete sleepers to reduce maintenance”.

 

The Museum is staffed by about 40 volunteers who work on a regular basis, with many other members who enjoy keeping the trains and the museum running.

Income to-date has been from donations and gate takings.

 

“We are working on documents needed to apply for grants. The grant funding will be used for the restoration of more locomotives and carriages” says Tracey.

 

You can enjoy the wonderful display of heritage trains and take a ride by dropping into the Richmond Vale Railway Museum at 262 Leggetts Drive Kurri Kurri.
