Armidale Bicentennial Railway Museum is located in the former railway tea rooms and was founded by local railway maintenance staff. It has been operated by council since 1993.
The railway age in Armidale began in the early 1880s and profoundly transformed local social and economic life. At its peak the railway was the largest single employer in the district.
Armidale was an important railway centre located on the main line from Sydney to Brisbane with a locomotive depot and facilities for handling all kinds of goods and livestock. This museum commemorates the role and work of generations of generations of local people who worked for the railways.
Open by appointment.
