Darling Museum & Art Gallery.

20 Hill Street

The Darling Museum, housed in the historic 1899 Town Hall building, offers a nostalgic journey into the town's heritage. Originally serving as a vibrant community hub for theatre, dances, film screenings, and even clandestine schoolboy fights, the building was repurposed in 1989 to host what began as a Butter Museum. Today, it has evolved into a unique institution that preserves and depicts the lifestyle, cultural activities, and agricultural growth of Darling from its founding in 1853 onward, featuring amazing artifacts like an 18th-century Dutch East India Company cannon
