Hall
Hall is the only one of these villages that is technically
part of Canberra, although its history dates back well before Federation. Just
inside the ACT boundary, the
village was named after the first landholder in the district, Henry Hall, and
was officially proclaimed in 1882. Hall Village has been declared a heritage
precinct by the ACT (“not before time” muttered one of the local businesspeople,
when we enquired).
It retains a number of historic buildings, mostly from early
this century, with their original features. You can inspect the Hall Village
Well, the only remaining one-room school in the ACT, two fine churches and the
travelling stock route. The Hall Markets, held monthly, are the largest in the
Canberra area. Next:
