The Jervis Bay Maritime Museum is a tourist attraction in Huskisson where you can discover local history, unique characters and engaging stories! The museum also has several exhibition spaces which house changing art, craft and heritage-based shows and is home to the historic Lady Denman ferry - the only surviving wooden Sydney Harbour Ferry as well as other historic vessels. The Museum exhibits a range of nautical equipment, models, photographs, paintings, drawings and objects relating to the history and heritage of the Jervis Bay area. Since the original opening, the museum has grown many times over and is now home not only to the Lady Denman but numerous other heritage vessels.
Set in beautiful native gardens, The Lady Denman is also home to the Timbery Aboriginal Workshop, a marine reserve (fish feeding), a mangrove boardwalk on the banks of Currambene Creek and picnic and BBQ facilities.
