Schaeffer House Museum

Schaeffer House Museum is a heritage house museum in Grafton, Clarence Valley, New South Wales, operated by the Clarence River Historical Society. Housed in a well-preserved 1900 Federation residence built for German-born businessman Johan Schaeffer at 190 Fitzroy Street, it displays extensive local history collections including photographs, documents, furniture, textiles and agricultural artefacts documenting settlement and development of the Clarence River region.

Visitors can expect a restored Federation-era house with period rooms, verandahs and garden setting in central Grafton. Inside, volunteer guides lead through furnished rooms and exhibition spaces displaying historical photographs, documents, household items, clothing, tools and river and agricultural memorabilia related to Grafton and the Clarence Valley. The museum is compact and explored on foot at a relaxed pace with interpretive labels and guided commentary.
