Built in 1819 by Thomas Haycock Reibey, Entally House is one of Australia’s most intact Georgian colonial homes.

Mary Reibey, Thomas’ mother and matriarch of the family, was transported to Australia in 1790 for the crime of horse stealing, then aged 13. She would later marry a junior officer of the East India Company who established the Entally name as a successful trading company that owned a number of vessels running coal up the Hawkesbury River in New South Wales.

Located at the Great Western Tiers Visitor Centre – Deloraine, the Folk Museum will provide you with a fascinating insight into the regions pioneering past.

The indoor and outdoor collections and exhibitions have been lovingly created and maintained by a group of fantastic volunteers who are extraordinarily proud of the colonial history of their region.
