The Sir Henry Parkes memorabilia is a chair that was used by Sir Henry during his office days.

The priceless item was given to the National Trust and was originally the property of Sir Henry’s second wife.

Heritage advisor Richard Wesley was excited about the arrival of the memorabilia to the Tenterfield collection.

“It is very hard to get hold of items associated with Henry Parkes,” Mr Wesley said.

“It adds a real extra dimension to the Henry Parkes collection in Tenterfield.”

The chair’s permanent home will be at the School of Arts. The chair will be cleaned and waxed to restore it to its original state.

Mr Wesley described the chair as “sacred” and a generous gift to the Tenterfield community.

“It reinforces that Tenterfield is truly the home of Henry Parkes memorabilia,” Mr Wesley said.

“He was a very successful Australian political figure. Things like this attract further donations.”
