Set on two and a half acres with peaceful surroundings, Henry Kendall Cottage was once a home for pioneer poet Henry Kendall. One room contains some of the poet’s possessions, while the remaining rooms are furnished as an old cottage.
The spacious Historical Museum displays a wide variety of items from the past including typewriters, bottles and old memorabilia. A slab shed in the grounds contains tools and farm machinery.
Picnic tables and two wood-burning barbecues (with wood provided) occupy a pleasant picnic area. Extra tables and chairs and an urn of boiling water are available if required.
