The former residence and now house museum of Australia's 16th prime minister who led the country from 1945 to 1949. This museum is remarkable - it clearly shows the simple, almost ascetic life that Mr & Mrs Chifley led. A visit to the house has become something of a rite of passage for those Labor politicians with leadership ambitions. A good look around will take about an hour.
Chifley Home is a heritage-listed former residence and now museum in Bathurst, in the Central West region of New South Wales, Australia. It was built from 1887 to 1891. The property is owned by Bathurst Regional Council. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 23 December 2002.
