Woolmers Estate, Historic house in Longford, Tasmania
The estate spans 82 hectares with a main homestead, workers' cottages, chapel, blacksmith shop, stables, and one of Australia's oldest wool sheds.
Founded in 1817 by Thomas Archer, the property remained in the Archer family for six generations until 1994, preserving its original colonial architecture and furnishings.
The estate displays the complete social structure of colonial life through its buildings, highlighting the relationships between landowners, workers, and assigned convicts.
Visitors can access the estate Wednesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 3 PM, with guided tours, self-guided options, and six colonial cottages for overnight stays.
The site contains personal collections from all six generations of the Archer family, including original furniture, clothing, photographs, and daily life objects.
