Hall School Museum

Australian Capital Territory


This petite local history museum is run by a group of very committed residents. The collection includes displays on the history of the school, which closed in 2006, as well as an exhibition on the impact of WWI on Hall, and other local ephemera. It's worth a peek if it happens to be open during your visit.
