The Dingley Dell cottage is a museum that depicts Adam Lindsay Gordon, his life, his works and the history of the cottage.   The museum is the most important collection of Gordon-related artifacts in the world. 

The refurbished cottage contains some of Adam Lindsay Gordon's belongings and much memorabilia. 

One front room is represented by the theme 'Adam Lindsay Gordon - His Work' and contains his writing desk, a display of early volumes of his work and recent editions for visitors to peruse.

Amongst the many items of memorabilia is the baton, handcuffs and leggings Gordon used as a police mounted trooper, as well as enlargements of some of his drawings and Maggie Gordon's saddle.

The other room features 'Adam Lindsay Gordon - The Man' and contains photographs of aspects of his life, extracts from his letters, parliamentary speeches and a display of personal effects.

The middle room records the history of Dingley Dell, with photographs of the cottage taken at different times and a history of its preservation.  The remaining room open to the public is the kitchen, furnished in period style.
