Celebrate the Heritage Festival with ACT Historic Places.

Calthorpes House and its gardens were designed by the firm Oakley and Parkes. Built in a Spanish Mission and Mediterranean style both the house and the gardens remain virtually unchanged from the late 1920s. Enjoy a tour of the gardens to learn more about its public and private ‘rooms’. There is even an air raid shelter.
