Whitehorse Heritage Week 2023

Whitehorse Heritage Week 2023 is coming up in September, where many community groups bring you an exciting program that investigates our collective history. This year’s theme is ‘All Aboard’, with plenty of opportunities to learn about how local transport has changed over time.

Whitehorse Historical Society is hosting Family Day at Schwerkolt Cottage, kickstarting the fun on Sunday 10 September. You can learn about heritage trades, and enjoy a program of live music, dancing and in-person demonstrations. Children will love the bubble artist, animal farm, art activities and old-fashioned games. Plus a special appearance of a heritage fire truck from the Fire Services Museum!

Learn more about this event, and the whole program running 10 -17 September, at www.creativewhitehorse.vic.gov.au/heritage-week
