Explore Historic Berrima
Berrima is recognised as the best preserved example of a Georgian village on the Australian mainland. From 1831 to the 1860s was a time of promise and growth, but this came to an abrupt end when the railway bypassed the village in 1867. For the next hundred years there was little or no development in Berrima, thereby preserving its historic architecture.
​
The Berrima Courthouse Museum offers a remarkable theatrical encounter with Berrima's fascinating history of 'Treachery, Treason and Murder', while the Berrima District Museum
tells the stories of German prisoners of war (interned in Berrima during WWI) and shares information about the early industries of the district.
