Where we are, when to come, what it costs (nothing), and why it's worth building extra time into the drive — coffee, caravans, EV bays and all.
Historic New Italy sits right on the highway corridor linking Brisbane/Gold Coast and Sydney — an easy, well-signed pull-in for travellers already making the run up or down the Northern Rivers.
The essentials for planning your stop.
Entry to the museum grounds is free. Donations are warmly welcomed and go straight back into this volunteer-run charity.
The complex is open every day of the week. Specific opening hours vary — please confirm current hours with us before you travel.
Ample free parking on site, with dedicated space for caravans and RVs — no need to unhitch to visit.
Whatever you're driving, we've thought about how you'll arrive.
Plug in, then wander over for a cappuccino, a browse of the gift shop or a stroll through the Park of Peace while you charge. It's a genuinely good place to wait.
A full complex worth allowing an hour or two for, not a quick photo stop.
Coffee, cakes, cooked breakfast and lunch — a proper sit-down meal, not just a vending machine.
Moka pots, olive oil tins, glassware and homewares — genuinely giftable Italian goods.
Live hand-flameworked borosilicate glass by artisan Ian O'Driscoll, working the craft locally since 1984.
Relocated from Brisbane's 1988 World Expo — murals, memorabilia, and Lismore's first-ever cappuccino machine.
Capacity for around 400 guests, BYO beverages. Ask in the office about dates for weddings, reunions and functions.
Family-history researchers can search our genealogy and museum collection databases — ask at the front desk to get started.
Whether it's hall hire, a group booking, or checking today's hours, we're a small volunteer team and happy to help.
