Heritage Village is set on 18 acres of grass, bushland & a lake. It is in the heart of the rich farming area, the Liverpool Plains, in the North West of NSW.

Our Tractor pavillion is brimming with agricultural equipment, from tractors, horse drawn wagons, sulkies, a shearing shed stand & wool display, an saddlery workshop, dairy eqipment, stationary engines and a working scale model of a Kenworth Truck.

Blacksmiths fire up the forge each month and bend metal into shape. The Mens Shed is busy, repairing and restoring.

There is a Miniature Railway Station, with more than 800 metres of track, winding around the lake over bridges and a new line is being built with a tunnel through hell fire pass. We have a Classic Car Club & a Model Railway building.
