The Fairfield City Museum and Gallery highlights British settlement in the area. The original building was erected in 1913 in Smithfield, Fairfield City's oldest township, and was used as the Council Chambers until 1920. The building was then bought by the Morris family and used as a private home. Before she passed away in 1980, Maisie Morris, the last of the family, made sure that the house would be transformed into a museum. Today the museum aims to foster a collective memory of the many stories in the Fairfield area.Date2001Transcripts availableNoRightsFairfield City CouncilAccess conditionsAccess open for research, written permission required for personal copies and public useNotes"Tune into Fairfield City- A Multicultural Driving tour" was launched in 2001 as a joint initiative between the NSW Heritage Group, NSW Premier's Department and Fairfield City Council.
