ACT Historic Places cares for three significant heritage-listed sites: Lanyon, Calthorpes' House and Mugga-Mugga.

Lanyon Homestead is a must-see for visitors to Canberra looking to experience the region’s and Australia’s settlement history.

Calthorpes’ House provides a rare and engaging insight into the domestic life of Australia in the mid 1900s.

Mugga Mugga Cottage provides an authentic setting to reflect on how life was lived on the Limestone Plains before Canberra was established.

Our sites include well-cared for collections of national significance that provide a rare community asset for enjoyment, education and research.
