The location for Berrima Courthouse was first chosen in 1834, taking another 3 years to complete construction. Built of hand-hewn sandstone in Regency style, the Courthouse was used to convict criminals through to 1900 and saw crimes from cattle steeling through to notorious bushrangers and murderers.

Fantastic museum...

...beautiful Georgian architecture, fascinating facts and extreme silliness... finally the "spooky light show" at the end is a hoot, hardly terrifying but great fun and a good way to visualise a Georgian court."

ALICE - TRIP ADVISOR

I loved stepping back in time...

...and learning about not only the courthouse history, but also of the town and nearby residents. A great day to be had - lots of fun. I recommend this to everyone of all ages."

CAYCE - TRIP ADVISOR

We liked the film...

...on the history of the settlement of Berrima and the surrounding district, including the listing of the first fleet ships and who was on board. The court re-enactment is well worth the price of admission."

PAUL & LORRAINE - TRIP ADVISOR

We liked the displays...

...and that they told us not just about the courthouse, but about the whole town. The sound and light show in the courtroom is entertaining, the AV presentation was excellent, and the displays are informative."
