Forged By Hand - Trades, Tools & Transformation
About
Welcome to Heritage Month, Old Gippstown Heritage Park has collated an interesting series of tours about our pioneering days in Gippsland.The Forged by Hand tour will be hosted by Sean, our resident blacksmith. Tour our many trade specific buildings and see how skilled trades supported daily life in the 1850s to 1930s.
Discussion on what changed for tinsmiths, wheelwrights and blacksmiths as cars, machines in general, mass production and new materials arrived, see original printing presses used in the Gippsland area way before the digital age.
What trades survived, adapted or disappeared. After the tour feel free to explore our many buildings or enjoy our on-site cafe, the park closes at 4pm.
