The Museum is full of lively, colourful new exhibitions, professionally designed and covering a diverse range of themes.
Built during the 1850's as the Depot Superintendent's Quarters, this historic house is now the last remaining part of
York's Convict Depot.
It then became the official
home of the town's Resident Magistrate hence the name, the Residency.
During the early twentieth century it was used as part of the Old
York Hospital, later being saved from disrepair by the efforts of the
York Society.
It opened as a Municipal Museum in 1972 and continues to be managed by the Shire of
York, with help from community volunteers.
