Polish Hill River Church Museum

Nestled in the picturesque Clare Valley, the Polish Hill River Church Museum stands as a testament to the rich Polish heritage in Australia. Established by post-WWII Polish migrants, this heritage-listed museum showcases a diverse collection of artifacts, photographs, and documents that chronicle the journey of Polish settlers since the 1850s. Visitors can explore exhibits featuring personal items, historical documents, and a reconstructed 1870s-era church with adjoining classrooms. The museum is open on the first Sunday of every month from 11 am to 4 pm, offering free admission during standard hours. Special events, such as the annual Festival of the Lamb in September, provide additional opportunities to engage with the community and celebrate Polish culture.
