The Cottage

The cottage was built by Peter Fagan, using convict labour, between 1836-1840. His family kept ownership of the property until 1921 where it was purchased by Colonel Garnet Adcock.
Poet Henry Kendall called the cottage home for the years 1873 to 1874.


The Museum

The historical museum was opened in 1983. It currently contains a wide variety of memorabilia from the past.
Each season a new special Exhibition is on display.
