Vienna Cottage - National Trust Of Australia Nsw

A virtually untouched artisan’s cottage built in 1871, giving a glimpse into life as the colony became Australia the nation. Open on the 2nd & 4th Sunday.

Built in 1871, Vienna Cottage was the home of John and Ann Hillman and their five children. They lived in what was a typical tradesman’s cottage, with four rooms in the main building and a detached kitchen and laundry at the back. John Jacob Hillman was a cobbler and later also a village lamplighter.

The home was originally run as a dairy, and also produced fruit and vegetables from the small orchard beside the house, which to this day is preserved as a small park called Hillman Orchard.

We are open on the 2nd & 4th Sundays of each month, 2pm - 4pm or by appointment
