Travel Back in Time at Schwerkolt Cottage!

We're pleased to present an open day at Schwerkolt Cottage and Museum Complex as part of the Australian Heritage Festival.

Enjoy all of what the afternoon has to offer:

• Take a tour of the original Schwerkolt Cottage and learn the story behind the Schwerkolt’s life in Mitcham, which family member had a connection to the Titanic sinking, and how WWI affected the fate of Schwerkolt Cottage.
• Explore how heritage crafts and textiles have changed and adapted over time to suit modern sensibilities through live demonstrations in the museum.
• Dabble in some heritage inspired arts and crafts, enjoy some colouring, or peruse the Artist's stall to take something home for yourself or a loved one.
• Take part in a self-guided scavenger hunt where you travel back in time and play the part of a detective tracing the long-lost relatives of modern-day technologies.
• Immerse yourself in old-fashioned fun by playing quoits, lawn croquet, skittles, badminton, or hula hoops in the cottage garden.
• Explore the serene parklands surrounding the complex.
• Take a stroll along the Mullum Mullum Creek Trail.
