Merimbula Old School Museum
The Merimbula Old School Museum is located in a lovely sandstone building in Main Street, Merimbula – opposite the RSL Club. The former classroom and teacher’s residence was first occupied in 1875 with an enrolment of 39 pupils. It is a rare example in NSW of this type of building still in public ownership. When the Merimbula Public School moved to new premises at the end of 1945, the old building was used as a residence and for community activities for a number of years. In 1969 the Imlay Historical Society was formed, and requested permission to use the building as a museum, which opened in 1973 after extensive repairs had been carried out. This NSW National Trust classified building is owned by the NSW Government, leased from the Trustee, Bega Valley Shire Council, and managed by the Merimbula-Imlay Historical Society. It showcases the history of the local area.
