Pilot Cottages Museum
4-6 William St, Port Macquarie
The Museum encompasses two separate cottages which were originally built as pilot cottages in 1896. Now they house a wonderful collection of memorabilia and artefacts including superbly built scale models of a variety of vessels, charts, maps, paintings and an extensive collection of historical maritime photographs.
The Mid North Coast Maritime Museum in Port Macquarie is a hub for maritime history, collections, research, exhibitions & memorabilia.
Our museum is run by volunteers who have firsthand knowledge of the local maritime heritage. We take pleasure in sharing insights about the museum’s treasures

A visit to Port Macquarie can contain an amazing range of experiences. Apart from the sunny beaches and wonderful scenery, Port has a rich history and is home to many organisations that can fascinate visitors and create wonderful memories.
The Fascination Trail is an initiative of Port Macquarie Observatory and is supported primarily by many of Port Macquarie’s other non-profit organisations with great stories to tell. It is a way of helping visitors find out about some of the amazing history and experiences to be found in our city.
Many of these experiences are very low cost and provide a rich, satisfying way to spend part of a visit.
