Visit Grossmann & Brough Houses on the Steamfest weekend
Overview
Take a stroll down Church Street from Maitland Station precinct to Grossmann & Brough Houses. Where there is a lot to see and do.
Visit Grossmann, the National Trust’s 1870’s house museum and immerse yourself in the décor and history of the Victorian era. See our new Costume Display Room display featuring an Edwardian wedding with original gowns, dress suits and accessories.
Brough House offers an exhibition of photos, story boards and memorabilia from the Maitland Girls High school days including the restored girls’ hostel shower block. While upstairs, watch our weavers at their looms and see the work-in-progress of our two Artists in Residence.
Paterson based textile artist, Janet Steele will be telling tree stories and inviting community input into a ‘yarn bombing’ event to draw attention to the plight of our fig tree, probably planted 150 years ago. Donations to help with the remediation of the tree will be very gratefully received.
Enjoy freshly cut sandwiches, scones and slices with tea, coffee or cold drinks seated in our lovely gardens. Souvenirs and our famous range of Mrs Beckets jams & preserves on sale.
