The Tocumwal Railway Heritage Museum wouldn’t be what it is today without the dedication of many volunteers over the years.
The station and museum have been a project of the Lions Club of Tocumwal and District since 2005, with the museum being established in 2008 for the Centenary of Railway celebration.
Presently, the museum is only open infrequently and by appointment.
It consists of a detailed history of the railway since its arrival in Tocumwal in 1908, with another area dedicated to local history and displays of antique household items.
Tocumwal Lions Club members would like to open the museum each weekend, during holidays and long weekends.
Unfortunately, there are currently not enough Lions members to allow this to happen.
The Lion’s Club is seeking anyone who has a couple of hours to spare on weekends to help man the station.
A knowledge of local/railway history is not required.
If you would like to help, the secretary can be contacted on 0417 868 498 or tocumwal.nsw@lions.org.au.
