The Lawrence Rural and River Museum is owned and operated by the Lawrence Historical Society and located in the former 2NR Broadcast Station in Merton Street Lawrence.
Visitors to the museum will be welcomed into the restored heritage broadcast station building.

Outside, visitors can wander through the gardens to see the dairy & bails, blacksmiths shop, sulky shed, and early settler’s cottage, which was once home to Ram Chandra, the ‘Snake Man’.
The museum has wheelchair friendly toilets and a lift.
