Description

The earliest part of Mills Cottage dates back to c.1843, making it possibly one of Victorias oldest homes. Further sections were added on through the rest of the 1840s, displaying a range of building techniques from the period. The house was first occupied by John Brabyn Mills and his brother Charles Fredrick and from the mid 1850s-1871 Captain John Mills, the Port Fairy Harbour Master occupied the house. The house remains considerably intact including over fifty different wallpapers layered throughout. Open some Saturdays 2pm - 4pm. See website for opening dates.
