Goulburn War Memorial & Museum

The Goulburn War Memorial was built by public subscription and officially opened in 1925 as a lasting tribute to the gallant men and women of Goulburn who served in World War I.

Inside the tower is a tablet inscribed with the names of those who enlisted from this district.

The War Memorial is a square tower of stone conglomerate and concrete. It stands at a height of 20 metres above the top of Rocky Hill.

The lookout gallery at the top of the Memorial provides spectacular views over the city of Goulburn and it's surrounding environment.

The collection of artefacts allocated to the city of Goulburn after World War I is now housed in the adjacent cottage. It consists of personal items used by soldiers, memorabilia and medals. The local history room displays Goulburn's association with, and contribution to the two World Wars. Each object tells a unique story, of survival, mateship and the history of warfare.

The Goulburn War Memorial (which includes the tower, Rocky Hill, and the avenue of trees dedicated to enlisted soldiers along lower Memorial Road) is listed on the Register of the National Estate.
