Franklin House Franklin House

Franklin House was built by former convict and successful businessman Britton Jones, and is notable for its rich use of imported Australian Red Cedar.

Extended to accommodate one of the colonys leading private schools which operated there from 1842 until 1866, the house finally became the birthplace of the National Trust in Tasmania in 1960.

Franklin House survives with house, stables and garden. Nearby and also accessible is St James Church which was built in 1845 and has many associations with the House.

Franklin House and grounds make an ideal setting for your special occasion, particularly a serene and ideal wedding venue.
