Old Hobart Town - Historical Model village

Old Hobart town opened in 1991 & has been providing a fascinating & informative introduction to Hobart's & Tasmania's past


Bob & Arthur found the 4 things hidden in the township


Built by John & Andrew Quick over a period of 3 years.  Old Hobart town is unique within Australia
 


John & Andrew obtained the original maps & plans from the Archives & Lands department to ensure its historical accuracy & authenticity, depicting Hobart as it was in the 1820's
 


Over 60 buildings & 4 hundred period figurines tell the stories, often those of hardship & sometimes cruel, of our pioneering forebears
