Galleries, Museums and Collections

The Morgan Museum is situated in the Landseers building and overlooks the lawn riverbank area and the ferry. Early life in the Morgan area is the theme. This encompasses the farming activities, riverboat trade with the railway linking Morgan to the seaport of Adelaide and the pumping station for the Morgan to Whyalla pipeline. Superb horse drawn vehicles used for the transportation of goods and passengers are on display along with a 1926 Chevrolet truck in working order. Your family will also enjoy the old telephone exchange set up near the old schoolroom and the farmhouse kitchen. You will enjoy wandering around the exhibits in the Morgan Museum so be sure to include a visit to Morgan when you plan your next trip to the Riverland in South Australia. A fantastic display of model paddle wheelers from the Peter Barcham collection is also on display. These vessels are important in the history of Morgan.
