9pm to 12pm on Sat and Sun. Charleville's Historic House is the oldest permanent building in Alfred Street. It began life in 1889 as a modern banking chambers and manager's residence of the Queensland National Bank. Separate buildings for the manager included a stable, tack room and buggy shelter. The bank used the building as it's chambers for 53 years. In 1942, a Mr Alex Smith bought the building and used it as a residence until his death. His daughter, Mrs Claude Young then turned it into a boarding house. In 1973, the Charleville & District Historical and Cultural Society was formed and bought the building, setting aside the manager's office as the society's office. The banking chamber's "front room" houses a host of items from the past and the old bank vault is used to store precious books, maps, newspapers and records of our history. The main bedroom and dining room are furnished in the gracious ways of an earlier era. There are five beautiful marble fireplaces throughout the building. We are staffed by a small number of volunteers and we open seven days a week! A wide range of souvenirs are available for purchase in the Museum.

Today we came together as a committee to breathe new life into the "Outdoor Camp Kitchen". She has had a clean up, a glow up and some new items added into her. One surprise for today as we found our "house possum" living in one of our larger teapots. Hopefully she finds a safer spot to live in. If you haven't seen around Historic House come and take a look...
