Following a break in and theft of some exhibits, the Lithgow Small Arms Factory Museum is under threat of closure and loss of the collection if a secure location cannot be arranged for it.

More than just a building, the Museum is a living testament to the town's rich industrial heritage and cultural identity and provides a crucial link to the community's history and potential future.

By signing the parliamentary petition, we can help preserve a vital space that tells the town's story, attracts visitors, and keeps the community's memory alive. Every signature counts in saving this important cultural landmark. Please take a moment to support the museum and it's town's legacy!

📢 NSW Residents: Help Us Secure the Museum's Future! 🙏

This photo shows one of our cherished displays as it once was—before it had to be dismantled. Without secure site ownership, the Museum will not survive.
We’re calling on NSW residents to sign our parliamentary petition, urging the government to facilitate site ownership for the Museum, preserving this vital part of Australian history and ensuring it thrives for future generations.
All residents of NSW, including those under 18, can sign the petition here: https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/la/pages/epetition-details.aspx?q=iRYZVofsgPOgBsMVEG9Sag
Your signature can help save the Museum—thank you for your support!
Without action, the Museum and its legacy could be lost forever. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen.
