celebrating 150 years of calala house in 2025
The Museum is a collection of buildings housing Tamworth Historical Society’s vast collection of objects, photographs, agricultural equipment and ephemera which tell the story of Tamworth. On site are two original buildings, the town house of the first Mayor of Tamworth, Philip Gidley King, an original shepherd’s hut, and a number of buildings which have been moved onsite from the local area.
