Westgarthtown's curriculum & excursion program
Ziebell’s Farmhouse Museum and Heritage Garden at Westgarthtown is located in modern day Thomastown. Its heritage buildings, original gardens and pioneer reserve provide an ideal venue for children to learn about early rural life on the outskirts of Melbourne. Our schools program has been developed to provide curriculum support for visiting schools based on the Victorian Curriculum.
