Crawford House

Crawford House operates as a community museum in Alstonville, managed by the Alstonville Plateau Historical Society. The building itself is a well-preserved example of early 20th-century architecture, providing a setting for a diverse collection of domestic and agricultural memorabilia. Visitors can explore various rooms containing original furniture, clothing, and photographs that illustrate the social history of the plateau. The museum maintains an extensive research library and archives, making it a primary resource for individuals investigating local family lineages or regional land use developments. Situated near the Alstonville Showground, the museum hosts changing exhibitions that focus on specific aspects of the Northern Rivers' past. These displays often highlight the transition from timber cutting to dairy farming and macadamia production in the area. The grounds include heritage gardens and outbuildings that complement the main residence. For those travelling through the region, the site is located a short drive from Victoria Park Nature Reserve, offering a combined cultural and natural experience for tourists and local residents interested in the heritage of the Alstonville district.
