1824 was a very significant year in Colonial NSW history. The Legislative Assembly met for the first time in August 1824 and the infamous declaration of Martial Law was proclaimed in August 1824.
This exhibition will feature the objects and framed works held by Eskbank House Museum with connections to our local pioneers from this colonial time period and look at some initial and continuing local participation in political activities over time.
