Emerald Museum will be holding the Australian Heritage Festival on Wednesday 20 April with free kids’s activities for families to get involved in.
The activities available will include morning tea in Nobelius Heritage Park, colouring in and scavenger hunting.
Children have the chance to guess the number of lollies in a jar, and the nearest guess wins the lollies.
Cardinia Shire Residents will be able to learn about the history of Emerald, chat to museum volunteers and visit the Salvia Gardens plant stall.
Emerald Museum is an exhibition space for a wide range of items that relate to the history of the former Nobelius & Sons Nursery as well as Emerald and surrounding districts.
Nobelius Heritage Park is a 12-acre remnant of the Nobelius and Sons Nursery which operated between 1886 and 1955 and is registered on the Victorian Heritage Database as a site of State significance.
The Australian Heritage Festival will run on Wednesday 20 April from 10am to 3pm.
The event will be run in line with COVID-19 restrictions.
