Step inside one of Australia’s most historic landmarks. The Old Beechworth Gaol played a major role in the story of Ned Kelly, housing Ned, his mother Ellen, his brother Dan, and many of their supporters.

Built in the 1860s from granite quarried on site, the gaol is a stunning example of gold rush architecture that still stands strong today.
