Historic House Tour

Event Description

Journey back in time at Ross Bay Villa Historic House Museum, a volunteer-led museum and restoration project located in Fairfield. On Thursdays and Fridays at 11AM and 1PM, or Saturdays at 2PM, walk down the path past heritage apple trees and beautiful gardens, and step into one of only a few 1860s houses still standing in Victoria. From the bright and airy drawing room to the charming children’s bedroom, the house has been restored with extraordinary care to appear as it did when the Roscoe family called it home. Come experience a unique piece of Victoria's past.

Admission is $7.50 per person. Reservations preferred in advance at https://tinyurl.com/RossBayVillaTours. Since the year 2000, the site has undergone a massive transformation through thousands of volunteer hours spent carefully returning the house to its original appearance inside and out. All funds support the volunteer-based Ross Bay Villa Society, which owns and operates Ross Bay Villa.

Drop in a little early for your Saturday tour for our Gift Shop In the Garden, a unique vintage store with everything from clothing and books to fine china and unexpected treasures. Stop by between 10-2, and find something special! Please note this outdoor event is weather dependent, and donations of gently used household items are gratefully accepted.
