Visitors to Woodlands Historic Park will have a rare chance to tour one of Hume’s oldest buildings at the weekend.
The doors to Woodlands Historic Homestead at Greenvale will be opened to the public as part of Open House Melbourne.
The homestead, which was built in 1842, is now part of Living Legends – the international home of rest for champion horses.
Sunbury’s Rupertswood Mansion will also be part of the program, which features houses and buildings that reflect Melbourne’s history.
Mayor Drew Jessop hopes Hume’s inclusion in Open House Melbourne will help residents to feel proud of their city.
“We are so proud to have such an array of fantastic cafes, restaurants, wineries, museums and galleries all within our city,” Cr Jessop said.
“Whether it’s grabbing brunch and some of the best coffee in Craigieburn, dining on authentic pasta in the Westmeadows Village or visiting a winery in Sunbury, there’s plenty to love about Hume.”
