Bathurst is fortunate to have 3 unique historic homes that are open to the public at various times:
Abercrombie House - resonates with local history. A 52 room Tudor Gothic mansion built over a period of 8 years and completed in 1878 using local stone and cedar featuring 30 fireplaces, 7 staircases and a ballroom.
Miss Traill's House - Built in 1845 for the Reverend Thomas Sharpe, this Georgian inspired property was bequeathed to the National Trust by Miss Ida Traill who resided in the property from 1930 to 1976 and is full of memorabilia from her pioneering ancestors.
Chifley Home - Home of former Prime Minister, Ben Chifley and his wife Elizabeth - an insight into their domestic life with original furniture, personal items and official gifts.
Each one offers an insight into life in a different era. Visitors to the city can visit all three of these properties with an Historic Homes Pass.
Historic Homes passes offer a discount on the entry to the wonderful houses and can be purchased from the Bathurst Visitor Information Centre at 1 Kendall Avenue.
