Built in 1845, Miss Traill's House with its garden and paddock is part of the early history of Bathurst.  Its main significance, however, was as the home of Miss Ida Traill who lived there from 1932 to 1976.  A descendent of two of the region's main pastoralist families, Miss Traill was influenced by her Grandfather, George Lee, who bred horses legendary in Australian equine history.  Single, strong-willed but careful, Miss Traill inherited, amassed and cared for a collection which is a valuable insight into the influence and aspirations of the family.  The collection is an intrinsic part of her home, where it is presented today; a family treasure unique to the nation.  Miss Traill left the house, furniture and various other contents to the National Trust of Australia (NSW) on her death in 1976.
