🏇 As Melbourne Cup excitement builds, did you know Singleton has a connection to one of Australia's great racehorses?

Peter Pan, one of Australia's champion thoroughbreds, has a lasting place in Singleton's history. Visitors to the museum can see his rug displayed on a life-sized horse! Our tribute to a horse that captured the imagination of racing fans across the country.

Singleton and the Hunter Valley have long been associated with champion racehorses through our local studs and rich breeding history. Peter Pan is just one example of the region's contribution to Australian racing.

Why not drop in before the Cup and see our Peter Pan display for yourself?

🎃 Judging by this outfit, Peter Pan appears to be ready for both Melbourne Cup week and Halloween!

📍 Singleton Historical Society Museum

🕙 Open: Sat & Sun 12pm-4pm and Tues 10am-1pm

🎟️ Admission: Adults $5 | Children $2

Did you know our museum houses a fascinating collection of historic transport?

Recently, local school students visited to learn how people travelled in years gone by. Highlights included our horse-drawn drays and sulkies, along with our eye-catching penny-farthing bicycles.

Whether you're interested in local history, transport, farming, or simply looking for an enjoyable outing, there's something for everyone to explore.

A big thank‑you to Sr Pat Healion, NSW Ambulance Chaplain, for being our special guest speaker at today’s annual luncheon.

Sr Pat — a Sister of Mercy with a rich background in law and education, and long-standing connections to the Singleton community — shared powerful stories of compassion and service.

She reminded us of the quiet strength behind every emergency response: the care, listening and humanity that support those who support us at our greatest time of need.

We are deeply grateful for her time and the insight she brought to our museum community today.
