The museum itself has an interesting history. It dates to the 1850's, initially serving as the Depot Superintendent's Quarters (the last remaining part of York's Convict Depot), then the home of the Resident Magistrate, was incorporated into the old York hospital as maternity rooms, then the Matron's Quarters and became a museum in 1972. I love it when historic buildings are renovated, restored and retained. The interior houses a diverse range of exhibits covering York's history; shackles, the bell of St John's, old tools, kitchen utensils, etc. Some I was familiar with, the open fireplace and array of pots and pans, the butter churn and some others which were features of Irish households in the not too distant past. Wonderful that the York Society and Shire place such a value on the history of the district.

Lovely ice creams and the place is surrounded by wildflowers on the side of the dirt roads leading in. There is a playground with a couple of flying foxes, and some shady places to sit down and devour those great ice creams just bought, so has it all! Friendly gent - I think it was Arnaud - behind the counter was inundated with customers but kept his cool. Well done! And can I have another tub of pistachio icecream please?
