HISTORY
The site of Queanbeyan, NSW, was first viewed in 1820 by three explorers, Charles Throsby Smith, Joseph Wild and James Vaughan whilst searching for the Murrumbidgee River. Since those long ago days, 34,000 people have made this city their home. Queanbeyan, considered by many as the birthplace of the National Capital, has many old buildings still standing, some of which are open to the public. The Queanbeyan Visitor Information Centre, 1 Farrer Place, was built in 1924 as the third home of Queanbeyan Municipal Council, the present Queanbeyan City Council Chambers are located in the former School of Arts building constructed in 1927 and the Queanbeyan Museum, containing interesting memorabilia from the region’s past, was built in 1876 as the Police Sergeant’s residence. The museum is open Sunday afternoons, between 2.00pm-4pm from early September through until June. Some of the churches also date back to the mid 1800s.
