Sir Henry Parkes Memorial School of Arts<br />

Birthplace of our nation<br />

In 1889 Sir Henry Parkes delivered his ‘Tenterfield Oration’ at the School of Arts. His speech revived<br />

the Federation Movement and led to the creation of the Australian nation. Its lifetime and associated<br />

events have earned it the title as ‘birthplace of our nation’. Stunningly restored, it houses a museum<br />

devoted to Federation, the life of Sir Henry Parkes and the town of Tenterfield. Architecturally it<br />

comprises many styles, from its Gothic outline to the Edwardian addition of 1913.<br />

Tomago House<br />

Timeless, tranquil and serenely gracious<br />

Built by Richard and Maria Windeyer in the 1840s, this gracious sandstone villa was the<br />

centrepiece of a large estate. With its family chapel and remnants of the nineteenth century<br />

pleasure gardens, the house is closely identified with three generations of one of Australia’s most<br />

distinguished families, and perfect for weddings. It is noted for its fine verandahs overlooking<br />

pastoral land and interiors which reflect the lives and times of a family of status. Refreshments<br />

and parking are available.<br />
