IF YOU are interested in local heritage and history, you can’t miss this year’s Greater Shepparton Heritage Open.
Promising to be bigger and better than before with more than 50 places of heritage and history open to the public across Friday, March 22 and Saturday, March 23.
The region’s second Heritage Open Days event will include tours of some of Greater Shepparton’s most historic private homesteads, hotels, halls and churches, as well as various places of cultural interest that showcase the Goulburn Valley’s diverse and unique heritage.
This year’s program includes two free tours of Dhurringile mansion, a site that is often closed to the public and one that proved extremely popular in the 2017 Heritage Open Days event.
Other items on this year’s program include visits to the Goulburn Weir and the impressive Big Cut on the Cattanach Canal, as well as an irrigation tour of the old pump site on the Goulburn.
Bookings are required for these tours.
A booklet is available online on the council website, as well as in hard copy in the council foyer, local libraries and Shepparton Visitor Information Centre. All bus tours, some walks and some visits will require bookings. Early bookings are essential to avoid disappointment.
