Berrima District Historical & Family History Society Museum

Great place to visit at Berrima. The best way to learn about the town history is to start from a museum. This place is run by volunteers with a very small entry fee ($8).

Good stuff for a small local museum. Staff were lovely and very eager to spread their historical knowledge.

If you enjoy days out where everything is in walking distance and love history then this place is for you. Excellent cafe culture, plenty of culinary delights typical of the area, some Italian & French influences as well. Plenty homemade local foods. Boutiques, gifts, homewares & restaurants are world class.
Easy distances to wineries and Golf courses if interested.
Landscape is heavenly to your senses, the Southern Highlands has its own climate so summer is much cooler than Sydney.
Berrima was bypassed by the rail some time ago and so it remains an entry point into time of long ago with many Georgian structures compared to neighbouring towns that thrived after the railway was installed ie Bowral, Moss Vale & Goulburn.
Perfect outing if looking for a city escape.

Really liked the place. Lots of cool objects and story about German prisoners who contributed to Berrima's history.

Pretty interesting! Nice friendly helpful volunteers that are more than happy to show you around.

My partner and I had a great day here
Was romantic and a free day out with lots of history. Thanks Baby Cakes xxxxx

Excellent museum! A really good collection of historical items bit also incorporating many modern items from the area. The room that deals with German internees during the 2nd world war was fascinating.
