Throsby Park Open Day
This Event Is
The Open Day shares the colourful history of this important historic home, while visitors can explore its’ main homestead, outhouses, stables (once Del Throsby’s famous riding school), extensive gardens and 74 hectares of estate grounds. A rare example of a colonial-era rural estate, the property has played a vital role in Sydney’s early history. Granted to Dr Charles Throsby by Governor Macquarie in 1819, it was the earliest land grant in the Southern Highlands.
Throsby Park House (c1834) was home to six generations of the Throsby family. This remarkable estate demonstrates the importance of heritage conservation work, to enable visitors to marvel at Sydney’s rich past. Throsby Park Estate is a jewel in the crown of NSW heritage: a living and breathing example of how the past and present can be enjoyed together. The HHT is currently seeking a long term lessee to share in the future care and preservation of the property.
