The Old Gaol was built in 1840–41 with additions in 1866 and, until the construction of the nearby Courthouse in 1867, operated as both court house and gaol. After the Courthouse was constructed in 1867 it was used as the local lock up until 1969 for petty criminals awaiting trial or serious offenders awaiting transport to Perth or Fremantle gaols. Sentences of four weeks or less were served at the gaol.
Since 1970 it has been used as a museum run by the local historical society
