About this place
What to expect
Visitors can discover the stories behind the people, places and events that have helped shape NSW - where the history happened. A Blue Plaque visit offers more than sightseeing. It creates a direct connection between place and story, turning everyday locations into places of discovery. Each plaque reveals a unique piece of history, encouraging visitors to explore local areas from a new perspective and uncover stories they may never have known. This blue plaque commemorates Elizabeth Jane (Bessie) Robinson who was a businesswoman who drove the development of the central west town of Canowindra and advocated for quality public education. Visit the blue plaque at The Old Vic Inn, 56 Gaskill St, Canowindra NSW 2804 and scan the QR code there to learn more.
