Katherine Museum

 

 

The Historical Society welcomes you to visit the Katherine Museum and Community Gardens to share our stories of Katherine's History since 1872.

 

The Katherine Museum is on the way to the Katherine Gorge.  Its 3 km from the Katherine Post Office traveling along Giles Street and just across the road from the Katherine Hospital.

The Museum’s Community Gardens Project is in progress and embraces the rock of significance for the Jawyon tribe. The rock in dreamtime represents the resting place for the kangaroo on its journey to the Katherine Gorge
