Eskbank House and Museum in Lithgow is a historic home, with splendid furniture, a display of Lithgow Pottery and other period pieces, a blacksmith's forge and a coach house.
Built in 1842 by Thomas Brown, Eskbank House is a sandstone building in the Georgian style. The four front rooms have been preserved much as they were in Thomas Brown's day, and contain some beautiful Regency and early Victorian furniture.
The museum has an extensive collection of Lithgow Pottery, memorabilia and photographs of early Lithgow as well as a static steam engine display. The gardens contain a stone stable and coach house, and an unusual stone hexagon garden shed and picnic area available to use.

A very well curated museum. One of the best I have seen for layout and local historical knowledge. The staff and volunteers are very knowledgeable and were a joy to chat to. Well worth a visit.

This visit was to see the grounds of the museum. Enjoyed wandering around and the beautiful colours of the autumn poplars in the street. Will go back one day to visit inside the museum.

Lovely Tour guide Fiona was informative, curious and authoritative on local history. It is said that the owners married for inheritance and There were no children sired in the bed room... Ha ha, Ironically at the same time there was a bee conference on seeding flowers and the servants quarters had bars on the window so the convicts did not buzz off and seed the local flowers .lol

What a wonderful building. We visited to learn something about our ancestor, Alexander Binning. How wonderful to meet Fiona, who shared her knowledge with us! We will be back.
