In 2016, 19 local families and 4 philanthropic foundations came together to save the Old Beechworth Gaol. Their vision and commitment, led by the Australian Centre for Rural Entrepreneurship (ACRE), made this the world’s largest small-town community asset buy-back that year.
Today, the Old Beechworth Gaol (OBG) is a thriving social enterprise. We’re proud to honour the Gaol’s rich history whilst transforming it into a vibrant community precinct that delivers social, cultural, and economic benefits to the region.
