Description

Silverton Gaol was established at the mining town of Silverton outside Broken Hill in 1888. In its first few years it was heavily used, but this declined with the opening of a new gaol at Broken Hill?in 1892. It was thereafter only used for prisoners on very short sentences. By the 1930s it was only being used as a police station, and this closed in 1945. Today Silverton Gaol operates as a historical museum.
