Glenalvon House Open Days
Glenalvon House
History lovers will be able to catch a glimpse of everyday life in a bygone era when the beautiful Glenalvon House in the historic Macarthur region opens its doors to the public for free entry.
The House is open on the first and the third Saturdays of the month. The opening on the third Saturday coincides with the Handmade and Homegrown Markets. On this special open day you are able to have a Devonshire Tea, supplied by the Campbelltown Country Women's Association or purchase home-made jams and preserves from their stall. Group tours are not held on open days but can be arranged for other days. Contact details can be found on the contact page.
Glenalvon House was built in 1841 and is described by the National Trust as 'an exceptional two-storied sandstone home of colonial Georgian design'. The furnished two-storey colonial house provides a glimpse into Campbelltown's days early in the 19th century.
Twelve rooms are open to the public, including the drawing room, the library, the nursery, and the children's bedroom. An agricultural exhibition featuring the actual tools from colonial times is also located on the site.
Glenalvon also features a period garden, a sandstone coach house and heritage stables. The property is home to the Campbelltown and Airds Historical Society.
