Quambi School Museum

Originally built as a two-room schoolhouse (originally known as Lady Parry's School) around 1831 to accommodate 40 children. A second storey was added to serve as a teachers’ residence in 1841. The building was acquired by the Anglican Church circa the 1850s, with a kitchen annex being added in 1860. The building remained as a school until 1888 when the government school opened. It was then used as a private grammar school until 1900 when it became a private residence. At about this time, the front porch was demolished and replaced by a full-width bullnose iron verandah.

The building was used as a private residence from 1900 until 1973, and it was during its occupancy by the Callow family that the name 'Quambi' ('place of shelter') was first used for the building. Quambi House was purchased and restored in 1975 and converted into a museum by the Stroud Historical Society.

Now listed on the Register of the National Estate, the two-storey Georgian-style schoolhouse/museum displays furniture, clothing, personal and household items, photographs and other objects from the late 1800s to the mid-1900s. The restored, convict-built building also houses a collection of historic books from the Australian Agricultural Company.
