The Hall Heritage Centre, formerly the Hall School Museum, is run by volunteers from the Village of Hall and District Progress Association in the former Hall Primary School at 19 Palmer Street, Hall. The school museum, with the original 1911 schoolhouse, classroom furniture, old teaching equipment, school uniforms and photographs, remains a centrepiece. Other exhibitions cover the history of the Ginninderra district and Hall's soldiers in the First World War. The Centre is normally open Thursday mornings from 9am to 12 noon and Sunday afternoons from 12 noon to 4pm, or by appointment on 6230 9630. Parking is on Palmer Street or Hoskins Street. General admission prices are not published on the website. For schools, the Centre runs a Year 1 and 2 history program at $3 per student, with old-fashioned games such as hoop rolling, skipping and hopscotch; on-campus bookings have closed for 2026.
