Miss Traill's House is a property at 321 Russell Street, Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia, was built in 1845 by Reverend Thomas Sharpe. It is now named after Miss Ida Traill who lived in the house from 1931 until 1976. Ida Traill was a descendant of early settlers in the region. Her great grandfathers were selected by Governor Macquarie to explore and settle the area. Ida bequeathed the home to the National Trust of Australia. It is now a house museum containing a significant collection relating to Ida Traill’s family, including her furniture, horse-racing memorabilia, and artifacts linked to the early history of Bathurst.
