YARRAMANBULLY SCHOOLHOUSE

The Gallagher family donated the Yarramanbully School building to the Manilla Community for the town's centenary of Public Education in 1977. Manilla Historical Society volunteers restored the building, which was left intact with all its contents on the Gallagher property at the close of classes in 1953.
