Richmond Vale Railway Museum

Richmond Vale Railway Museum showcases the mining and industrial railway history of the Hunter Region. The museum is sited at the former Richmond Main Colliery, once the showpiece of the coal industry.

The State Heritage listed site is the base for the only operating heritage railway north of the Hawkesbury River. The spacious grounds and bushland setting provide a unique contrast to the heritage industrial complex.

The museum is a family-friendly location. In addition to the historical displays, the site offers the following attractions:

• Unlimited full-sized train rides
• Miniature train rides
• Child-accessible signalling activity
• Historic films in the mining museum
• Picnic tables
• Canteen
• Souvenir shop
• Special events throughout the year – watch our blog and Facebook for further detail.

Come and see us – we are open on the first three Sundays of each month, and every school holiday Sunday, with the gates open from 9.30am.
