With 5 heritage listed buildings and wonderful originality this
Justice Precinct is believed the most
intact and original in Australia.
The 5 buildings consist of, 2 Court Houses, Police
residence,
Stables and Log Lockup.
The "local history collection" is housed
throughout
the buildings and the grounds.
By including the Civic Square gardens at the front of the
Court House
we have an overall "A. M. Pearson Historic Park".
Omeo Historical Society manage the park on
behalf of
East
Gippsland Shire while the local history collection belongs to the
Society
The "new" courthouse is still an active courthouse with
sittings on two
or three occasions per year.
Omeo was a rough and tough multicultural mining boom town and
was the
centre of the large
Omeo
Shire (1872-1994) the story of which
the Society
and its collection seek to
represent.
Look at "historic park" link. The
"other places"
link provide
some information on parts of the old shire.
