DETAILS

NameStanley John ChambersAlternative nameStan ChambersBiographyFrom his birth in 1943, Stan Chambers’ life was tied to his parent’s property at 111 Palm Creek Road, Mount Pleasant. His father, Thomas, had inherited the property from his father, who ran up to 70 head of cattle and grew banana trees on the 225-acre property. Today he has given up farming, although he still lives on the property. Around 2000 he was asked to help with the construction of the replica schoolhouse at Samford Historical Museum - he hasn’t left since. He does numerous demonstrations for school classes that visit the museum, showing the blacksmithing and carpentry skills used by pioneers who settled the region.Birth date1943
