Urlwin park, once a large poultry farm, was bequeathed by Mr Lyle Urlwin, with the hope it would be suitable to house and display historic memorabilia. Opened in 1986, Urlwin Park houses a collection of vintage farm tractors, tillage and harvesting implements, and stationary engines. There is a replica of Anders Blacksmith Shop, an Anders working windmill, an early rural bank building, a telephone exchange and working telephones. The Zacher Pavilion showcases the district’s early manufacturing industries with a collection of ‘Balaklava made’ horse drawn vehicles and farm machinery (for example Walter Blake, Brebner and Keefe, Ahrns Bros, Illman and Sons), plus tributes to the wool industry and to Dean Zacher, after whom the pavilion was named.
The site includes:
- Balaklava Made Collection
- Horse-drawn Vehicles
- Tractors and Farm Machinery
- Stationary Engines
- Telecomunications
- Halbury Bank
- Historic "Corduroy Road"
- Blacksmiths Shop
