Welcome spring in historic surrounds as you stroll the glorious heritage gardens and explore the early colonial Regency house with its significant collection of 19th century furniture and art.

Pack a picnic, enjoy morning or afternoon tea in the café or grab a bite to eat from the volunteer run BBQ. The Riversdale and Goulburn Community Gardens will come to life with music supplied by the Goulburn pipe band and plant stalls selling cultivars from the illustrious garden.

Free entry to both the Garden, with tours and the Homestead you'll be able to fully appreciate the House Museum and Twynam Exhibition on display.

Located on the old road into Goulburn town, Riversdale Homestead began as an inn in the early 1800s. From 1875 it was home to the Twynam’s and is best known for the art and craft of Emily Twynam who was accomplished at woodcarving, embroidery and drawing. In 1893 she won a prize for her embroidery at the Chicago International Exhibition. Some of Emily Twynam’s carved furniture and picture frames are on display at Riversdale and her sketchpad can be viewed electronically.

Come along with the family and enjoy a beautiful spring day in the garden, just like the Twynams would have.
