Tuggeranong Schoolhouse Nestled under Simpson’s Hill for 130 years, in the southern suburb of Chisholm, the old Tuggeranon

Recently restored by the ACT Government, and complete with furniture, artefacts and antiques reflecting Canberra’s pastoral and pioneering past, the restored schoolhouse is a must see! Popular Canberra storyteller, Elizabeth Burness, trading as ‘History With A Difference’, brings stories of Canberra’s pioneering past alive with tales of the old schooldays. The schoolhouse collection, which include

s period clothing, highlights the changes in the lifestyles for the families living in the school’s cottage, as well as for its students. Teacher, Francis McGee, stood in that classroom, and lived in the cottage from 1898 until his retirement in 1927! He taught his seven children and Professor James McGee, born in 1903, became internationally renowned for his research in nuclear physics and as a pioneer of television!
