The Rocks Discovery Museum is a free attraction in the Rocks. The museum is an 1850's sandstone warehouse that was restored. Inside the museum are levels of artifacts and images that tell the story of the History of The Rocks and the people who once lived there.
Throughout the museum there are several screens with informative movies and stories about the rocks merchant history. Tales of sailors, whalers, tradesmen and early colonists are written on the walls and reflected in displays.
Our 2010 trip was the first time we had explored this museum. I think it is worth taking some time out to read and see what the Rocks history is all about.
Can't complain about the price...it's free, although I did drop a couple dollars in the donation box. Open from 10am-5pm every day.
