From the collection
Family connections
Treasured objects from the collections help chart the unique relationship that existed between Rouse Hill House (c1813) and Meroogal (1885).
Sampler, 1788
The sampler embroidered with a verse of the Lord's prayer was made by Ann Marsh in 1788. It was presented as a gift to the woman who taught Marsh to read and write.
Collection
Bebarfalds
Bebarfalds was a retailer of home furnishings and manufacturer of furniture, and become best remembered for its sewing machines, introduced around 1917.
Recipe
A cheese ‘fondu’
This recipe was published by Tasmanian politician Edward Abbott in 1864. It is a rich souffle rather than a fondue, but easy to make and best served straight from the oven!
