ABOUT
Ziebell's Farmhouse Museum & Heritage Garden is a community museum owned and operated by the City of Whittlesea. Built in 1850-56 by the Ziebell family on their dairy farm north of Melbourne, the museum aims to celebrate, preserve and interpret the history of Westgarthtown (now Thomastown and Lalor) and the Ziebell family legacy within the broader context of community culture and heritage. The museum is home to the Friends of Westgarthtown who actively research and publish material about Westgarthtown and its significance in Melbourne and Victoria’s development. Public programs, exhibitions, group tours and community events are offered throughout the year.
