It includes a pioneer street and village and is set in three hectares of parkland, providing Playground, barbecue and picnic facilities.The park itself is like the Pioneer Settlement at Swan Hill, a number of heritage buildings you can walk in and view. With lots of attention to detail, the buildings include an 1880's log cabin, an 1863 building that was a Cobb and Co station amoung many things over the years, a two storey iron house built in 1850 and moved to Moe from Melbourne, the old Sunny Creek School built in 1890 and Tynong Hall, circa 1886.
Fantastic day out
Thoroughly enjoyed my day at Old Gippstown, looking around for a wedding venue. The options for parties, weddings and events are wonderful with the choice of both indoor and outdoor spaces. Stunning gardens for a garden wedding, using the Old Woolshed for an indoor option or then there is the function centre or the rotunda as well as the Narracan Hall or the whole park if I wished. Onsite catering can be supplied also. A great local event venue as well as the old buildings, artefacts and gorgeous gardens are well worth a visit and consideration for an event.
