Yanco Power Station was built in 1913 to supply power to the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area, when power was required for general lightning and for the Leeton Butter Factory.[1] The site on which it was constructed was chosen as it was close to the Yanco railway line for obtaining coal and close to a water source that would be used for condensing water using a secondhand 75 KW generator. {{cvt|6.5|km}} of transmission lines were installed on flexible steel poles, the first of their kind in Australia.[1] The station's construction is concrete. In 1937, the five story building was extended. It was decommissioned in 1957 when the Snowy Mountains Scheme was completed and hydro-electric power was supplied to the region.[1][2] CollectionThe museums collection focuses on general aspects of local life including dioramas of life in the early-mid 20th century, a gallery of local historical photos, and a collection of local machinery from farming and industry[3].
