This Victorian-era bungalow and the collection held features pieces that once belonged to some of the original settlers of the district. Built in 1845 by Reverend Thomas Sharpe, the house and its contents were left to the National Trust by the last resident, Miss Ida Traill in 1976. The house museum contains a wide and varied collection of furniture, ceramics, horse racing memorabilia and art, much of it bequeathed to Miss Traill by her antecedents, some of whom were the original settlers of the Bathurst region. Delightful heritage garden surrounds the property and a paddock adjacent to the site. Located in the heart of Bathurst, close to restaurants, hotels, pubs etc, but the house itself is surrounded by other heritage houses in the street.
