The Camden Red Cross Sewing Circles Blue Plaque

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 The Camden Red Cross Sewing Circles. These collaborative 'working bees' attracted local women from across the district who were able to use their skills to manufacture clothing and supplies for the war effort during the First and Second World Wars. Visit the blue plaque at Camden Library, 40 John Street, Camden NSW 2570 and scan the QR code there to learn more.
