Canberra Australian Capital Territory 2601
Visit St John's Schoolhouse, Canberra's first school and school master's residence. It opened in 1845, to provide an elementary education for children from the Duntroon estate and surrounding farms. See many family names in the Church graveyard.
In 1969 the Schoolhouse re- opened as a museum of early district education. It displays many nineteenth and early twentieth-century photographs relating to Canberra's schools, churches, rural history and the beginnings of our city.
Contained within this precinct is the historic St John's Anglican church, also well worth a visit.
Gold coin donation welcome. Modest charge per head applies for excursions.
