About Samson House

Samson House is located in Walyalup (Fremantle) on Whadjuk Noongar Country.

This impressive home was built in 1888 for Michael Samson, who, after a life of adventure – and often misadventure! – went on to become an active member of local Fremantle politics and, ultimately, Mayor of Fremantle from 1905 to 1907.

Michael was the son of Lionel Samson, who arrived in Western Australia aboard the Calista in 1829 with his brother, William. This earlier generation of Samson brothers established a liquor import-export that continues today.

Samson House is open on the first Sunday and third Wednesday of the month (unless it coincides with New Year’s Day, Easter Sunday, Christmas Day and Boxing Day).
