Long before European settlement, Barmup was a meeting place for Menang Aboriginal people. In 1826 a government farm was established near the water course which fed the fledgling settlement. It was later purchased by the Government Resident Sir Richard Spencer and in the 1890s by Francis and Maude Bird.
Grand when it was built, Strawberry Hill has been home to many but the house itself has only had two owners. It was the first property managed by the National Trust in Western Australia.
