The Old Courthouse Museum is operated by volunteer members of the Clyde River and Batemans Bay Historical Society, and is the storehouse of the community's history.
Collection themes at the Museum include costume, education, healthcare, domestic life, forestry and timber tales, as well as crime and punishment in the district. The Old Courthouse Museum is housed in the former Batemans Bay Courthouse and Police Residence building.
The Old Courthouse, Police Station and Residence - where the Museum is today, was built on the corner of Orient and Church Streets (now Beach Road), at a cost of £930 and was opened on 14 October 1905.
