Sir Henry Parkes Memorial School of Arts

A National Trust building that contains a significant collection of Sir Henry Parkes relics. In 1889 Sir Henry Parkes delivered a famous speech which re-energised the federation movement to create the country of Australia, bringing the then separate states together in a federation, which was achieved in 1901. The S.H.P. Memorial School of Arts was built to commemorate this with a now multi-functional building including a museum, cinema, cafe and community spaces.
